Gase explained that he wants “people on his team who have the right priorities“, per Beasley.

Orr, 24, wound up signing on with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent out of Florida back in May of last year. He was unable to make the team coming out of the preseason last year but was later signed to their practice squad.
