CSN Bay Area expects the Raiders to part ways with DE Dave Tollefson.
A pass-rushing specialist, Tollefson was invisible in the first season of a two-year contract in 2012, notching just 0.5 sacks. He's also on the wrong side of 30. The cap-strapped Raiders will save $1.6 million if they void the final year of Tollefson's contract.

CSN Bay Area expects Raiders RG Mike Brisiel to be released.
Recovering from "major" ankle surgery, the zone-blocking Brisiel is no longer a schematic fit with the Raiders going back to a power scheme. Releasing Brisiel would free up $2.8 million in cap space, while the Raiders have a pair of potential young (and cheap) replacements in Tony Bergstrom and Lucas Nix. Brisiel is as good as gone.
