ALAMEDA Womens Derek Carr Jersey , Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders released offensive lineman Donald Penn on Saturday, cutting ties with the longest-tenured player on their roster.The Raiders said they came to a mutual decision to cut ties with Penn, who became expendable after Oakland signed Trent Brown to a four-year, $66 million contract this week that is the richest ever for an offensive lineman.The Raiders drafted Kolton Miller in the first round and Brandon Parker in the third round last year, leaving little room for the 35-year-old Penn and his hefty salary.The decision to cut ties with Penn clears nearly $5.5 million in salary cap room. The Raiders will carry a dead money charge of $1.75 million in salary that was guaranteed for this year.“It is always hard to say goodbye to players that you respect and love both for their on-field efforts and the people that they are off the field,” owner Mark Davis said in a statement. “Donald Penn is another one of those great Raiders who have come into the organization and left an indelible mark on the franchise and the Raider Nation as a whole. He came to Oakland already with a deep passion for Raiders football and served as a leader and example for the team for five memorable seasons. Donald will always be a Raider and his presence will be missed by the entire Raiders family. I wish the absolute best for Donald and his family.”Penn originally signed with Oakland as a free agent in March 2014 and was part of a roller-coaster ride during his five seasons with the team. The Raiders lost their first 10 games in Penn’s first season before turning into a playoff team with 12 wins in 2016.Penn missed the playoff game with a knee injury and then saw the Raiders slip to 6-10 in 2017, when his season ended with a foot injury in Week 15. Penn played just four games last season before a groin injury put him on IR as Oakland finished 4-12 in coach Jon Gruden’s first season back.Penn made two Pro Bowls during his tenure in Oakland and was a leader in the community and in off-field projects.“Thank you to Mark Davis and the entire Oakland Raiders organization for giving me an opportunity to play for you,” Penn said. “It was an honor to play for you. Thank you to my Raiders teammates for always going to war and leaving it all on the field. It was an honor to play beside you.“To coach Gruden — thank you for always believing in me. From giving me my first start back in Tampa, it’s incredible how things come full circle. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me.”His departure leaves quarterback Derek Carr, guard Gabe Jackson, defensive tackle Justin Ellis and receiver Seth Roberts as the only players on the roster who were part of the organization in 2014.Penn entered the league with Minnesota as an undrafted free agent in 2006 and made his NFL debut with Tampa Bay the following season with Gruden as his head coach. He started 170 consecutive regular-season games until his foot injury in 2017, with the only contest he missed coming in the playoffs following the 2016 season.“We’re going to miss Donald Penn around here Womens Antonio Brown Jersey ,” Gruden said. “I got to coach him as a young guy in Tampa and everything he got on the field, he earned. I was lucky enough to get him again here in Oakland. I’m going to miss the toughness and passion that he brought to the team every day. I certainly wish him and his family all the best.” There was a lot to like about what we saw from the Raiders against the Cardinals in their second preseason game.

The first team offense marched down and scored on their opening drive and the first team defense didn’t allow a point and even got some points of their own.BallersLamarcus JoynerJoyner was lights out in this game. He showed off his premium coverage skills as the Raiders’ nickel corner and then some. Over four drives with the first team defense, Joyner didn’t give up a catch. Cardinals QB Kyler Murray looked for the receiver Joyner was covering three times in those drives, and each time Joyner was right there with sticky coverage to force and incompletion. The coup de gras came on the final play for the first team defense. Joyner’s coverage set up a third and 11 at the Cardinals’ nine yard line. Then Joyner shifted just before the snap and came flying in on the blitz to sack Murray for a safety. Then, of course, Joyner went to the sideline and told Lisa Saulters that he wanted to run that ‘pretty boy football’ college offense out of the NFL. Got to love that kind of swagger. Raiders need it.Arden KeyWhat we saw from Key in training camp as a rookie is finally showing up on the field. Coming off his sack in the preseason opener, Key was back making plays this week. Most importantly, he’s added some discipline to his game. His first play was cutting off the left side to send the running back inside the tackle where he was tackled by Johnathan Hankins for a loss. That set up third and 12 and ultimately a punt.Key then ended the next two possessions. The first with pressure on third down for an incompletion and the one after that with a run stop on third and 23. Oh, and on that Joyner safety Key was also bearing down on Murray from the right side, so Murray not only had nowhere to go, but had Joyner not gotten to him Antonio Brown Jersey White , Key probably would have.Josh Mauro didn’t play in this game with a minor injury, so Key started in his place. That showed that Key is the next man up at either end position and the go-to third down edge rusher on this team ahead of veteran Benson Mayowa and rookie Maxx Crosby. For good reason it would appear.Paul GuentherEveryone wanted to see what Kyler Murray and the Cardinals’ Air Raid defense could do against the Raiders. It was an utter disaster. Mainly because Guenther knew how to snuff it out. He sent blitzes early and often and the Cardinals could get nothing going. Murray was under constant pressure. So much so the Cardinals’ first team offense put up a net 12 yards. You can see how Guenther dialed up the pressure in BD’s film review.Derek Carr, Mike GlennonCarr was in the game for six plays and marched the Raiders down for an opening drive touchdown. The biggest play on the drive was a 27-yard hookup with Tyrell Williams that looked a lot like a connection they made in practice last week where Williams went up high over the top of the corner to pull it down along the left sideline. The final play of the drive featured a wide open Ryan Grant in the right flat for a 19-yard touchdown.Glennon took over and the offense didn’t skip a beat. The Raiders offense would score on each of their first first four possessions to take a 24-0 lead early the second quarter. Among the big throws that Glennon made was a 53-yard touchdown bomb to Rico Gafford and a gorgeous fade throw to the left corner of the end zone for Derek Carrier.Both quarterbacks finished with perfect 158.3 passer ratings.Vontaze BurfictIt’s pretty clear he and Guenther are hand-in-glove with this defense. Not only was Burfict aligning the defense perfectly to stay a step ahead of the Cardinals, but Burfict was making plays on his own as well. Burfict made the tackle to end the first drive, stopping a catch at 7 yards on third and 12. A couple drives later, he started things off with a tackle for a loss of three yards. Two plays later, with the Cardinals in third and 13, Burfict went on the blitz up the middle along with Tahir Whitehead. Burfict laid the pick on the stunt, allowing Whitehead space to shoot the gap and crash the pocket. That’s how it’s done.A.J. ColeCole didn’t even punt for the first time until late in the first half. In total he had five punts and averaged 49.4 yards per punt and upped his net punt average from last week (43.0) to 43.4. He also played three of his five punts inside the 20. That’s quite impressive. Raiders may have another punting gem on their hands.Keelan DossHis five catches on five targets led the team. His first one was his longest, going on a cross from right to left. Had Glennon led him, it would have been a longer gain, but the pass was slight behind him. Doss still made the correction Bo Jackson Jersey White , reaching back to get it, keeping it from the defender and picking up 20 yards. He also had a 10-yard catch on the Raiders’ final scoring drive and later added a 5-yard catch on third and one to finish with 38 yards on five catches.Keisean NixonNixon had a pretty solid preseason opener as well, making him someone to watch for in this one. The undrafted rookie’s first play came against standout rookie receiver Keesean Johnson. Keisean vs Keesean. With the Cardinals knocking on the door in third and four, Nixon stepped up to bat down the pass for Johnson at the goal line to force them to settle for a short field goal heading into halftime.Early in the third quarter, Nixon showed up on special teams, downing a 54-yard Cole punt at the 16. Then he stayed on the field on defense and kept the Cardinals from scoring with tight coverage on an incompletion on third and five.Honorable MentionJosh Jacobs -- The rookie first round pick saw his first preseason action to start this one. He got the ball on the first three plays and picked up chunk yardage each time. He went for six yards, then eight yards and then another six yards. The Raiders saw enough. He looks good. Rico Gafford – In one play, we saw why Gafford has hung around the Raiders the past couple seasons – pure speed. He flew past his man to get open deep for a 53-yard touchdown from Mike Glennon. Whoosh.Jordan Devey – Through most of the offseason, Devey was the backup center. But with Gabe Jackson out, he is now the starter at right guard. He gave reason for optimism, laying the key block on Jacobs’s second 6-yard run and looking like he fit right in with that first unit.Continue to the Busters
