In light of the Super League falling apart, Mike Florio and Chris Simms draft their favorite short-lived NFL stories, highlighted by Antonio Brown to the Raiders, Bill Belichick as the Jets’ head coach and more.

The Raiders are releasing safety Jeff Heath on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports.

That will make Heath a free agent.

Heath, who turns 30 this month, was the AFC Defensive Player of the Week in Week 10 last season when he made two interceptions in a victory over the Broncos.

He signed a two-year deal worth up to $8 million with the Raiders last offseason after spending seven seasons with the Cowboys.

Heath played 13 games last season, missing three with a concussion. He made 37 tackles, three interceptions and four pass breakups.

In eight seasons, Heath has 383 tackles, 11 interceptions, five forced fumbles and 28 pass breakups.
