Moncrief started 17 games for the Riders in 2019, recording 69 defensive tackles, four special-teams tackles, four sacks and three interceptions - all career-highs - and was named a CFL All-Star.
A product of Oklahoma State, Moncrief appeared in 35 games over three seasons for the Riders.
The Raiders have loaded up at linebacker during the offseason, signing free agents Cory Littleton and Nick Kwiatkoski, as well as taking Tanner Muse out of Clemson with a third-round draft pick.
