Durham signed with the Raiders on Thursday, Adam Caplan of ESPN reports.
Durham was merely added to provide competition for the fringe WR spots in the Raiders' receiving corps. Since he was selected 107th overall in the 2011 NFL Draft, he's completed only one full season, hauling in 38 balls (on 85 targets) for 490 yards and two touchdowns with the Lions in 2013. His usage reduced significantly last season in Tennessee, though, as he was active in only four games.

Durham is expected to sign with the Raiders, Adam Caplan of ESPN reports.
Durham spent last season with the Titans but only managed to play in four games over the course of the year. The terms of his deal have yet to be released but it's likely a one-year tryout where he'll see an deep spot on the depth chart that coincides with limited snaps on the field, that's if he even makes the regular season roster.

Durham, a restricted free agent, has not been tendered by the Titans, Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean reports.
Durham will thus hit the open market at 4 PM ET on Tuesday, coming off a season in which he caught just six passes for 54 yards. He'll likely need to compete for a roster spot, regardless of where he signs.

Durham finished the 2014 season with six catches (on 11 targets) for 54 yards.
Even with injuries popping up here and there, Durham was still unable to earn a bigger role in Tennessee's offense. The 26-year-old, now a free agent, is highly unlikely to make much of a fantasy impact regardless of where he ends up ahead of the 2015 season.

Durham could carve out a bigger role in Tennessee due to the season-ending injury to fellow receiver Justin Hunter.
Durham has yet to record a single catch and has only been active once for the Titans this season, but he could be thrust into added responsibility now that Hunter's out, especially with Kendall Wright (hand) also banged up. The fourth-year wideout had 38 catches for 490 yards and two touchdowns with Detroit in 2013.

Durham is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Durham has yet to play in any of the Titans' three games this season. He'll probably need one of the team's top five receivers to suffer an injury before he receives an opportunity to earn snaps.

The Titans have claimed Durham off waivers from the Lions, the Tennessean reports.
Durham adds depth to a Tennessee wideout corps that currently also includes Nate Washington, Kendall Wright, Justin Hunter, Derek Hagan and T.J. Graham. He thus remains a couple of breaks away from fantasy consideration.

Durham was released by the Lions on Saturday, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Despite hauling in 38 balls (on 85 targets) for 490 yards and two touchdowns last year, Durham was unable to make the cut in 2014. The Lions have yet to announce their final 53-man roster, but Jeremy Ross and Corey Fuller seem to have secured wide receiver gigs out of camp.

The Lions may use a rotation behind starting wideouts Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate, ESPN's Michael Rothstein reports.
Durham started in place of Calvin Johnson earlier this preseason, but Kevin Ogletree has seen most of the work as the No. 3 guy in three-wide sets. With none of Durham, Ogletree, Jeremy Ross and Ryan Broyles doing much to stand out, the Lions may not go with any one player as the consistent No. 3 receiver. Even if they were to settle on one guy, targets would be hard to come by, after the team added Golden Tate and Eric Ebron in the offseason.

With Calvin Johnson sitting out, Durham started Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
A recent report from the Detroit Free Press said that Kevin Ogletree has emerged as the favorite for the No. 3 wide receiver role, but it was Durham who filled in for Megatron on Saturday night. The starting distinction probably isn't all that meaningful, as Ogletree also played early in Saturday's game. With Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate, Eric Ebron, Brandon Pettigrew, Joseph Fauria, Reggie Bush and Joique Bell all expected to contribute in the passing game, Detroit's No. 3 wide receiver role probably won't be lucrative, unless Tate and/or Johnson go down.
