The Las Vegas Raiders are releasing 2020 first-round draft pick Damon Arnette, who is currently being scrutinized by the NFL’s league office after a video surfaced on TikTok allegedly showing the cornerback making threats against an unnamed man as Arnette wielded what appeared to be firearms.
A league source said the NFL has been looking into the video, which surfaced on social media Nov. 5, and could take disciplinary steps against Arnette under the league’s personal conduct policy.
The Raiders moved to release Arnette on Monday, just over 18 months after the team selected him with the 19th overall pick in the 2020 draft.
