This team had the rug pulled out from under it before the season even started. The air was sucked out of the building with the trade of Khalil Mack to Chicago and they never caught their breath. Now six games into the season, the exodus has begun.
Players have begun finding their way out of Oakland and the team is doing their best to oblige. First Derrick Johnson requested and was granted his release. If you’ll remember correctly, he came to Oakland talking of championship aspirations. A few games in he was on the bench of one of the worst defenses in the league, watching this team go nowhere.
