Making an initial 53-man roster is a big moment for many, especially the young and unheralded. The high, however, is often fleeting.
Just ask Johnny Holton, David Sharpe and Iam Silberman players who survived Saturday’s roster cut only to lose a job two days or less after.
The Raiders roster has turned over quite a bit since Jon Gruden got here, including in the last few weeks, and should continue as days and weeks go by as the head coach tries to find his best 53.
Gruden concedes this roster has its issues. It also has some strengths, on offense especially.
