The Raiders have added a little offseason depth at kicker, signing Giorgio Tavecchio. The club announced the move Tuesday.
The 24-year-old Tavecchio spent the end of the 2014 preseason with the Raiders after a stint with Detroit. He previously spent time in training camp with the Packers (2013) and 49ers (2012). Tavecchio is 5-of-7 on field goals in exhibition play in the last three seasons.
The Raiders’ incumbent kicker, Sebastian Janikowski, is slated to make $3.25 million in salary in 2015. The 36-year-old Janikowski has three years left on his contract.
