Raiders to Release Defensive Tackle Jerry Tillery
The Las Vegas Raiders have decided to part ways with Jerry Tillery, freeing up approximately $3.8 million in cap space.
- Jerry Tillery, the former first-round pick of the Los Angeles Chargers, will be released by the Las Vegas Raiders at the start of the new league year.
- Tillery signed a two-year, $6.8 million contract with the Raiders last offseason but failed to meet expectations.
- In his time with the Raiders, Tillery recorded 31 tackles, two sacks, and one fumble recovery over 25 games.
- The decision to release Tillery comes as the Raiders face significant turnover on their interior defensive line, with several players set to hit free agency.
- Despite a promising start, Tillery's performance has been deemed insufficient to secure his place on the team, leading to his release.
