Raiders released WR Johnathan Holland, C Jesse Boone, CB Darrick Brown, DE Derrick Gray, DE Greyson Gunheim, FB Luke Lawton, CB-S Nate Lyles, WR Chris McFoy, P Glenn Pakulak, RB Louis Rankin, FB Marcel Reece, G Brandon Rodd, CB Nick Sanchez, and LB Shane Simmons, TE Darrell Strong, DB Marviel Underwood, CB Michael Waddell, TE Chris Wagner,RB Adimchinobe Echemandu, and DT Josh Shaw.
The Raiders are keeping three reserve wideuts: Johnnie Lee Higgins, Todd Watkins, and Chaz Schilens. That’s an ugly group for JaMarcus Russell to throw to, meaning Javon Walker, Ronald Curry, and Zach Miller should see most of the targets.
