Should Carradine sign with the Raiders, he’ll help them fill the hole left by defensive lineman Denico Autry, who signed with the Indianpolis Colts on Wednesday. It is assumed that the 49ers are uninterested in re-signing Carradine this offseason.

He is one of three defensive players the Raiders have reportedly scheduled meetings with, along with Marcus Gilchrist and Tahir Whitehead.

After being selected in the second round — No. 40 overall — by the 49ers in the 2013 NFL Draft, Carradine was sidelined his entire rookie season after suffering a torn ACL during his final year at Florida State.

Carradine reached the NFL in 2014 and joined the 49ers’ defensive rotation, but never became a full-time starter. In 44 appearances over the last four years Carradine only started eight games, seven of which came last season after missing seven weeks early in the year due to an ankle injury.

All told, Carradine totaled 76 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and one forced fumble during his time in San Francisco.
