The Las Vegas Raiders have released cornerback Marcus Peters. Peters was seen having a spirited conversation on the sideline and was later benched during a game. The decision to release him comes after several instances of minimal effort and a benching. Peters was owed the remaining balance on his $1.1m 2023 salary and a $60,000 per game bonus for each game he was active. The move saves the team $1.5 million in incentives that Peters was on pace to earn. The Raiders have now waived Peters, who goes on waivers.
