Bill Williamson reports that the Raiders are waiving former second-round DE Mario Edwards Jr on Saturday as they work to cut their roster down to 53 players.
The Raiders were reportedly shopping Edwards for trade offers, but it looks like a deal never surfaced.
Edwards, 24, is a former second-round pick of the Raiders back in 2015. He is entering the final year of his four-year, $6.017 million rookie contract that included $4.161 million guaranteed and set to make a base salary of $1.25 million for the 2018 season.
In 2017, Edwards appeared in 14 games for the Raiders and recorded 27 tackles and 3.5 sacks.
