DE Bruce Irvin Gets Let Go From Oakland Raiders.
Oakland announced Saturday that it waived defensive end Bruce Irvin.
Irvin had one year remaining on a four-year contract signed with the organization in 2016, but Oakland owes him nothing after this season.
I’m frustrated, Raiders coach Jon Gruden said of Irvin following the game.
Gruden added that Irvins role was reduced because as an edge rusher, Irvin didnt fit in Oaklands base 4-3 defense.
Unlike those roster moves, the Raiders reap nothing from releasing Irvin, which comes just days after the trade deadline.
