Las Vegas Raiders Release Cornerback Marcus Peters
Move comes after Peters' benching during Chiefs loss, saving the team $1.5 million in incentives
- Marcus Peters, the three-time Pro Bowler cornerback, has been released by the Las Vegas Raiders.
- Peters was benched during the Raiders' loss to the Kansas City Chiefs before his release.
- The Raiders' decision to release Peters saves the team $1.5 million in incentives that he was on pace to earn.
- Peters' performance this season has been disappointing, with poor tackling and questionable effort.
- The release of Peters allows the Raiders to give more playing time to recently-signed former Patriot Jack Jones and rookie Jakorian Bennett.
