Raiders Release LB Nick Roach & S Usama Young

The Oakland Raiders released veteran LB Nickย Roach and Sย Usama Young on Friday withย failed physical designations.

Roach has unfortunately been dealing with serious concussions symptoms in recent years and there was talk recently that he was unlikely to play at all this season.

Roach, 29, had two years remaining on hisย four-year, $13 million contractย that included $5ย million guaranteed. He would have made base salaries ofย $2.8 millionย andย $2.95 million over the remainder of the contract.

According toย OverTheCap.com, releasing Roach will free up $2,128,750ย in cap space while creating $1,592,500ย in dead money.

Young, 29, has one year remaining on hisย two-year, $2.35 million contract and would have made a base salary ofย 1 million for the upcoming season.

The Raiders will save anotherย $1,100,000 by cutting him and take on no dead money.
