The Las Vegas Raiders have added another linebacker in free agency, agreeing to terms with former Pro Bowler Cory Littleton on a three-year deal, sources told ESPN Tuesday.

The deal is worth $36 million, including $22 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The agreement came one day after Oakland agreed with linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski on a three-year, $21 million deal, according to sources.

Littleton, 26, has led the Los Angeles Rams in tackles for each of the last two seasons while also intercepting five passes over that same span.

An undrafted player from Washington in 2016, Littleton quickly proved himself as a special-teams standout in his first two seasons with the Rams. He then earned a starting role at inside linebacker as a third-year pro.

In 2018, Littleton earned Pro Bowl honors as a special-teams starter.

In four seasons, Littleton has 290 tackles, 8.5 sacks, 6 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles and 4 fumble recoveries. He also has blocked four kicks on special teams.
