Las Vegas Raiders cut 2020 first-round CB Damon Arnette after video with death threats
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32584857/las-vegas-raiders-cut-ex-first-round-cb-damon-arnette-video-death-threatsHENDERSON, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders have waived second-year cornerback Damon Arnette, a first-round pick in 2020, after video surfaced this weekend of Arnette making death threats while brandishing firearms.
Arnette, 25, had been on injured reserve since Oct. 9. He is also facing lawsuits stemming from a Las Vegas car accident last October.
Mayock added that he had talked with Arnette, his father and others in his life and "from my perspective, he's a very talented young man with a good heart. He cleans up his life, I know he can make a living in the NFL. But not now, with the Raiders."
Mayock acknowledged there was "significant concern" over Arnette's character coming out of college, but the Raiders felt they could help him on and off the field and knew the Ohio State coaching staff well enough to trust its advice and take on Arnette.

Cause the Raiders have a long tradition of turning bad boys into choir boys.
