The Raiders have let go of a recent draft pick, waiving tight end Nick Kasa with a failed physical designation on Tuesday, per the NFL’s personnel notice.
A sixth-round pick in 2013, Kasa played all 16 games as a rookie, catching a nine-yard TD pass in the season finale. However, he missed the 2014 season with an ACL tear suffered in August.
In addition to parting ways with Kasa, the Raiders waived linebacker Bojay Filimoeatu, linebacker Justin Jackson, defensive tackle Kona Schwenke and defensive back Jansen Watson on Tuesday.
Also disclosed by the NFL were the previously reported departures of wide receiver James Jones, offensive guard Kevin Boothe and linebacker Miles Burris.
The transactions leave the Raiders with 76 players on the roster, including the team’s 2015 draft picks.
