Darnay Holmes has joined the Raiders to bolster their cornerback depth, bringing valuable experience and familiarity with defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, who previously coached him at the Giants. At 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds, Holmes was drafted in the fourth round by New York in 2020 and initially played as an outside cornerback before transitioning to slot. Known for his aggression and physicality, Holmes had a standout role on special teams last year but faced challenges with penalties, particularly in a down season under new defensive coordinator Wink Martindale in 2022. Following cuts from the Giants, the Raiders view him as a great fit and an impactful addition to their young defensive lineup.
