Tavecchio spent time during the offseason and training camp with the Packers in 2013 before doing the same with the Lions in 2014.
The Raiders have become a hotspot for former Packers players thanks to the connection with former executive Reggie McKenzie, now general manager with the Raiders.
Tavecchio will join former teammates James Jones and C.J. Wilson on the Raiders roster.
