The Las Vegas Raiders -along with the rest of the NFL- continue to churn away at their roster as they enter the last few weeks of the preseason.
Tuesday represented the NFL's deadline to reduce rosters to 85 players, but the Raiders didn't just release/waive players – they traded 2021 fourth round pick Tyree Gillespie to the Tennessee Titans.
Gillespie played safety for the Raiders and appeared in 11 games last season. His rookie year saw him finish with eight tackles. Gillespie only played 13 defensive snaps on the year, and 150 special team snaps.
It's a fresh start for Gillespie, as it's clear he was not ever going to get much run with the Raiders.
Per The Athletic's Vic Tafur, Gillespie was traded to Tennessee for a conditional late-round pick.
