It’d be defensive end Isaac Rochell who would be let go, as Rochell himself confirmed on Twitter
However, the Raiders social media team forgot to check the scheduled tweets ahead of Rochell being cut. The team shared a video about Rochell’s brother and his career in the Air Force.
There was only one problem, of course. Rochell had been released by the team by the time the post was shared, which the defensive end pointed out right after sharing news of his free agency status.
“This is objectively really bad timing,” indeed. It’s not uncommon for big organizations like Raiders to schedule social media posts that look cringey by the time they’re posted.
However, it doesn’t discount the fact that it’s, well, super cringey. Rochell just wasn’t about to let this slide as he figures out his next stop for his career
However, while there’s a new ceiling on Cleveland’s season without Watson, the team’s game-to-game ceiling isn’t quite as stuffy. Though the spread for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers moved two points from -4, the Browns are still -2 favorites at home. Which makes sense considering Pittsburgh holds identical 50-1 Super Bowl odds.
Furthermore, three of the next four teams on Cleveland’s schedule have losing records. So, whether it’s PJ Walker or Dorian Thompson-Robinson at quarterback, they could very well ride a 6-3 start to the season into a playoff appearance. But even if they do, oddsmakers don’t expect much beyond that.
