One of the few positions up for grabs with the Raiders became more clear Monday with the surprise release of veteran cornerback Prince Amukamara. Amukamara was signed in May ostensibly as the starter opposite second-year player Trayvon Mullen, while first-round draft pick Damon Arnette transitioned from college to the NFL. The move first was reported
That’s a good sign about Arnette.
Yet, secondary will be YOUNG, without any exhibition games to get ready. Yowza. Get ready for the roller coaster that we’ll see with young players. Some great plays, some head scratchers.

It seemed to me that they had Amukamara at a fairly good price, so it’s somewhat baffles me why they would cut him when everybody knows you need depth, depth, depth in the secondary these days.
Unless they looked at him and felt like he doesn’t have very much left in the tank. Then of course it makes sense to just move on.
