As Oakland Raiders HC Jon Gruden evaluates his roster, he’s going to have a number of difficult decisons to make regarding personnel. He’ll also have some decisions that are laughably simple – see ya, Reggie Nelson.
One of the more difficult though, is whether to keep or cut veteran linebacker Bruce Irvin.
Since coming to the Raiders as a free agent in 2016, he’s been a steadying influence and solid guy on the defensive side of the ball.
More imortantly, he’s also been consistent – which is pretty good for a defensive unit that’s been anything but consistent over the last few years.
