The Las Vegas Raiders have waived Damon Arnette after video surfaced this weekend of the second-year cornerback making death threats while brandishing firearms.
Arnette, 25, had been on injured reserve since October 9. He is also facing lawsuits stemming from a Las Vegas car accident last October.
He was a first-round pick in 2020.
"Very painful decision," Mike Mayock said. "We spent significant time, effort and resources trying to help him in all aspects of his life.
"There have been a series of bad decisions over the last year or so, but we can't stand, we cannot stand for the video of Damon with a gun, threatening to take a life. The content was unacceptable, contrary to our values and our owner Mark Davis has been very clear and very consistent that this is not how we will conduct ourselves in this community. The bottom line -- the Raiders will not tolerate this type of behavior."
