The other players released by the Raiders include C Jesse Boone, DB Darrick Brown, DE Greyson Gunheim, RB Adimchinobi Echemandu, DE Derrick Gray, WR Jonathan Holland, RB Luke Lawton, DB Nate Lyles, WR Chris McFoy, P Glenn Pakulak, RB Louis Rankin, RB Marcel Reece, G Brandon Rodd, DB Nick Sanchez, DT Josh Shaw, LB Shane Simmons, TE Darrell Strong, DB Marviel Underwood, DB Michael Waddell, and TE Chris Wagner.
