Free-agent DTs Johnathan Hankins, Clinton McDonald sign with Raiders
Sep 12, 2018
Neither contract has been officially announced, but a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Hankins had signed a one-year contract and McDonald's deal was announced by his agents on Twitter.
Raiders defensive tackles P.J. Hall and Justin Ellis suffered ankle injuries in Oakland's Week 1 loss to the Rams, necessitating Frostee Rucker moving inside.
Hankins, 26, was released by the Indianapolis Colts on March 17. He played just one season for the team after signing a three-year, $27 million deal in April 2017. He had 44 tackles and two sacks while starting all 15 games that he appeared in for the Colts.
Hankins had signed with the Colts after creating one of the strongest interior lines with the New York Giants during the 2016 season, when he finished with 43 tackles, three sacks, eight tackles for loss and 10 quarterback hits.
Hankins was a second-round pick by the Giants in the 2013 NFL draft. He has been a four-year starter, appearing in 67 games and recording 184 tackles along with 12 sacks and three forced fumbles.

Defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins made a big impression on Raiders coaches by reporting to camp a little smaller.
On Tuesday, head coach Jon Gruden said Hankins “might be the most improved player on our team” from last season.
Hankins, whom the Raiders re-signed to a two-year deal this spring, said his improvement was largely conditioning-related. He said he played last season around 330 pounds and reported to camp this year around 318. It’s not a wide margin but appears to have made a difference.
“Last year, I didn’t have (organized team activities) or training camp,” Hankins said. “So I really just took advantage of that, didn’t really take it for granted and accepted the challenge Gruden and (general manager) Mike Mayock had for me to come in in better shape.”
Hankins, a 2013 second-round pick by the Giants, was released by the Colts in March 2018 and didn’t sign with the Raiders until Week 2. He started 14 games and played the second-most snaps among their defensive linemen (56%), recording 36 tackles without a sack.
“What I told Hank this spring is, ‘Don’t let people just tell you you’re a big guy, you’re a nose guard. Be a big guy that can move,’” first-year defensive line coach Brentson Buckner said. “He got himself in physical shape and he’s showing a lot of quickness and explosion.”
Hankins has been working with the first-team base defense and staying on the field in the nickel front.

The Dallas Cowboys added two Buckeyes on Tuesday.
The Cowboys made a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders for Johnathan Hankins, sending a pair of late-round draft picks in exchange for the former Ohio State defensive tackle.
Hankins heads to Dallas after four-and-a-half seasons with the Raiders. While Hankins was the Raiders’ starting nose tackle in his first four seasons with the franchise, his playing time had decreased this season, in which he appeared in five games and made 10 total tackles for Las Vegas.....
With the additions of Hankins and Sheffield, the Dallas Cowboys now have six former Ohio State players under contract. Hankins joins Ezekiel Elliott, Noah Brown and Malik Hooker on the Cowboys’ active roster, while former Ohio State long snapper Jake McQuaide is on the Cowboys’ injured reserve after tearing his triceps earlier this season.

Skull Session: Chris Holtmann Enters the Podcast Game, Miyan Williams is a Bowling Ball and Two Gene Smith Protégés Could Be the Next USC AD
Chris Holtmann has entered the podcast game, Miyan Williams runs like his hair is on fire and two Gene Smith protégés are reportedly candidates to be the next USC AD.
HOTEL
Former Ohio State defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins is the most recent example of this idea, as the 10-year NFL veteran for the New York Giants, Indianapolis Colts, Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys broke ground on a Wyndham Hotel in Blackfoot, Idaho, on Memorial Day, May 28.
Hankins appeared in 138 games and made 120 starts from 2013-22, in which he recorded 376 tackles, 37 tackles for loss, 14.5 sacks, 47 quarterback hits, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 10 pass deflections.
In that span, Hankins also accumulated over $46 million from six separate contracts and will make an additional $1.16 million from the Cowboys in 2023. By opening a Wyndham Hotel, it's clear that cash flow will remain steady in the future. Cheers to Hankins for this endeavor. If you are ever in Blackstone, Idaho, you know where to kick your boots up.
