University of South Dakota defensive lineman Drew Iddings signed a free agent contract with the Oakland Raiders while linebacker Keyen Lage accepted an invitation to attend the Kansas City Chiefs’ rookie minicamp, which starts Saturday and ends May 9.
Both announcements were made shortly following the conclusion of Saturday’s NFL Draft.
