The Raiders claimed WR Greg Little off waivers from the Cleveland Browns Monday and the veteran pass-catcher arrived Tuesday to join his new teammates as the Raiders continue the offseason workout program.
Cleveland originally selected Little in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft out of North Carolina. He caught 155 passes for 1,821 yards and eight TDs in three years with the Browns.
Little took to Twitter after learning he was claimed by the Raiders.

Little has been assigned jersey No. 15 and has hit the ground running as part of a revamped wide receiver group that includes veteran James Jones, who came over from Green Bay, a handful of undrafted rookie free agents and several returning Raiders.
