The Raiders are tied for first place in the AFC West but, on days like Monday, feel the furthest thing away from an organization that doesn’t require a serious intervention.
The club released former first-round pick Damon Arnette after the cornerback brandished multiple weapons during a series of social media videos while threatening to kill someone. NFL Network reported that, during Arnette’s first year in the league, he crashed four rental cars. While it’s not fair to say the Raiders could see this coming, Arnette’s penchant for eyebrow-raising behavior was available for anyone to read leading up to the 2020 draft across various media outlets that source scouting chatter for their predraft rankings.
