Friday the Raiders made the signings of pass rushers Rufus Johnson and IK Enemkpali official. With just one roster spot open, a player had to be released. That played was undrafted rookie defensive end Chris Casher.
Chris Casher had been involved in several off-field incidents with Jameis Winston at FSU.
Enemkpali is most known for doing the Jets a favor back in 2015 by literally knocking Geno Smith out.
Johnson had a serious car accident two days ago that totaled his car.
