ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Sebastian Janikowski leaving the Oakland Raiders after 18 years -- at the behest of the organization, mind you -- is more than a simple roster move on a soon-to-be, 40-year-old, high-priced placekicker; it is a symbolic end for fans and longtime team employees.
With Janikowski gone, the last remaining player drafted by the late Al Davis on Oakland’s roster is also gone. Only one other player currently on the roster -- long snapper Jon Condo -- was signed by Davis, and Condo will become a free agent next month.
