The Raiders are waiving defensive tackle Brian Price, a source tells Michael Gehlken of the Review Journal (on Twitter). Price was claimed off waivers from the Cowboys just a couple of weeks ago, but he has been displaced by the recent additions of Johnathan Hankins and Clinton McDonald.
Price started on Sunday against the Broncos, but saw time on only 17 snaps. With accomplished veterans Hankins and McDonald in the fold, his release does not come as a shock.
Price went undrafted in 2016, but that was due largely to red flags, including the time he threw an official to the ground in college. Last year, he appeared in eight games for the Cowboys before being placed on IR.
The 24-year-old will likely find a new opportunity elsewhere and may be claimed on waivers by Wednesday afternoon.
So there we have Brian thinking: “Hey wait a minute. After the Mack trade the Raiders assured everyone they were still willing to pay the PRICE to win”.
