The Oakland Raiders continued to make moves on Thursday, but this time, they started to shed pieces of their roster. Both backup quarterback A.J. McCarron and wide receiver Jordy Nelson were both cut on Thursday, bringing some cap relief for a team that has been spending a lot of money in recent days.
For Nelson, he was expected to be the No. 3 wideout behind both Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams, two guys who officially became Raiders on Wednesday. In addition to Nelson, veteran wideout Seth Roberts also could be shown the door by the Raiders, who are in full rebuild mode when it comes to the roster.
