The Raiders have released some defensive lineouts that were part of the team’s first draft class after Jon Gruden returned in 2018 as their head coach.

The team announced that they had released defensive attack Maurice Hurst and defensive end Arden Key. They also released quarterback Kyle Sloter.

Hurst was a fifth-round pick in 2018 and he started 17 of the 41 games he played for the team. He had 76 tackles, eight sacks, an interception, a forced fumble and two fumble repairs while on the team.

The Raiders signed Solomon Thomas and Quinton Jefferson while re-signing Johnathan Hankins for this offseason.

Key was a third-round pick and he had 49 tackles and three sacks in 37 games for the team.
