The last few days have seen the exit of a handful of players. ames Jones, Miles Burris, and Kevin Boothe were all released recently. Nick Kasa was released on Tuesday to add to the exodus of players that the Oakland Raiders felt were now expendable after the 2015 NFL Draft.
When a team has an offseason as productive as the Raiders have had; it can only be expected that a few players were going to be released in order make room. Of these three players, I can’t say I’m surprised by any of them being released. One could argue that Jones was the most productive receiver on the team last season, but with the return of Rod Streater, acquiring Michael Crabtree through Free Agency, and drafting Amari Cooper in the first round, (Adding two more receivers after that) it was only a matter of time before receivers started getting let go.
