The Raiders announced Saturday they have released controversial wide receiver Antonio Brown after he asked for it in an early morning Instagram post.

Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown posted a two-minute video to YouTube on Friday night featuring an apparent conversation between him and coach Jon Gruden.
While Oakland opened as a 2½-point home favorite over Denver in April before moving to a 1-point underdog Friday, at least four other games have had line moves of two points or more.
The old adage says: Defense wins games. To get into the win column more often in 2019, the Raiders have made several moves on the defense side of the ball to improve the team.
Winning in pro sports — or at least the opportunity to do so, however slight those chances might be for the Raiders this season — is more important than anything not named breathing.
The Falcons are 4-12 against the spread on the road in the last two seasons. Minnesota is 11-4-1 ATS at home since 2017.
Raiders plan to rotate between rookie Hunter Renfrow and veteran Ryan Grant at slot receiver.
Coaches can now challenge pass interference calls and noncalls as part of the replay review system. Just as with other in-game instances, the replay booth will initiate any reviews in the final two minutes of both halves and for an entire overtime.
While it appears rigid with all its concrete and steel, Allegiant Stadium is built with flexibility to protect it from potential earthquake damage.
Denver dropped to a 1-point favorite at most Las Vegas sportsbooks Friday after Raiders coach Jon Gruden said the plan is for Brown to play against the Broncos.
After Antonio Brown reportedly apologized in a team meeting, Raiders coach Jon Gruden announced at the start of Friday’s practice that Brown will play in Monday night’s game against the Denver Broncos.
The Raiders acquired wide receiver Antonio Brown in March in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since July, he’s constantly found himself in the news.
In a defensive battle also marked by sloppy offense and penalties, the Packers used the Bears usual trademark, a staunch D, and just enough from Aaron Rodgers on Thursday night to kick off the leagues 100th season with a 10-3 victory over their archrivals.
Coach Jon Gruden said Denzelle Good and Jordan Devey will start in place of injured Gabe Jackson and suspended Richie Incognito against the Broncos on Monday.
Wherever the truth lies within the silver and black cauldron of nonsense created by the Raiders trading for Brown, the conclusion should be obvious.
