The Raiders signed wide receivers Jayson Boyd of Texas-El Paso and John Madsen of Utah and tight end Derrick Miller of Maryland on Monday.
All three went undrafted last weekend and became free agents. They are expected to participate in Oakland's mini-camp Friday through Sunday.
The Raiders also are interested in signing Miami defensive end Javon Nanton, according to a person in the team's front office.
In other news, the Raiders said no to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday when asked if they were interested in trading backup quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo. He is in the final year of the six-year contract he signed as a rookie in 2001.
