Jon Gruden’s first roster move as head coach of the Raiders was to release former NC State All-American cornerback David Amerson.
We have released CB David Amerson.

Prior to the 2016 season, the Raiders signed Amerson to a 4-year $38 million contract. The reasoning behind cutting Amerson at this point might be because the Raiders would have had to pay $5.5 million for the 2018 this season tomorrow.
Things could get interesting between the Raiders and Amerson in the days going forward.
