Raiders waive Cory James, cut Armonty Bryant

Just ahead of rookie minicamp today, the Raiders let go of former 6th round pick linebacker Cory James with a failed physical designation. They also cut recently signed defensive end Armonty Bryant with non-football illness.

James was a sixth round pick by the team in 2016. In two seasons, he appeared in 26 games, starting 14 putting up 95 combined tackle (73 solo).

Bryant is a 5th year veteran who the team signed as a free agent this offseason. He has 11.5 career sacks.
