ALAMEDA — A look at each position group as the Raiders reduced their roster to 53 players on Saturday. There will be additional moves to come as well as the forming of a 10-man practice squad.
“I was cut three times and you have no idea how I empathize with these kids,” general manager Mike Mayock said. “Every cut was brutal. I had tears in my eyes with several of these kids. Every one of them handled it with class and distinction.”
Players who were let go Friday are also included.
QUARTERBACK (3)
IN: Derek Carr, Mike Glennon, Nathan Peterman
OUT: None
WHY: Carr is the face of the franchise, Glennon is an able downfield passer and in case you haven’t heard, coach Jon Gruden really likes Peterman.
