His career totals include 153 tackles and 22 sacks in 86 games. Prior to joining the Raiders, Nassib spent two years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2018-19) and two years with the Cleveland Browns (2016-17), who selected him in Round 3 of the 2016 NFL Draft. During two seasons with the Raiders, Nassib totaled 45 tackles and four sacks in 27 games, and last summer he became the first active NFL player to come out as gay. Schefter added that the move will save Las Vegas approximately $8 million against the salary cap in 2022. The Raiders released Nassib on Wednesday, according to ESPN reporter Adam Schefter.
Carl Nassib signed a lucrative three-year contract with the Las Vegas Raiders as a free agent in 2020, but he will not finish it out, instead hitting the open market again this spring.
