The Raiders waived 14 players and placed tight end Gabe Holmes on injured reserve Monday as they trimmed their roster to the league-mandated 75 players. The deadline to do was is Tuesday.
Among the Raiders cuts was tight end Colton Underwood, who shot to fame last week after his video asking Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman on a date went viral.
Defensive tackle Leon Orr may have been the biggest surprise. Last year, defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. said he thought Orr could be a “major impact player,” but the writing was on the wall when Orr, who played in three games last season, didn’t see the field Saturday against the Tennessee Titans.
