And so it Begins: Aaron Henry First to be Cut
Although nothing has been officially announced by the Oakland Raiders, Aaron Henry has personally announced via his Twitter account that the team has released him.

He also followed that tweet up with a “don’t cry for me Argentina” type of statement:
Please don’t feel sad for me!!! I didn’t die!!! I got cut its not the end of the road believe me!!!!

Henry signed with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent rookie. He signed a standard 3-year deal that all undrafted rookies sign for (per the CBA), obviously contingent upon making the 53-man roster. You can take a look at his Silver and Black Daily profile here. Henry did not record any stats in the three preseason games.
The Wisconsin grad was a longshot to make the team in the first place (as are most undrafted rookies not named Rod Streater) so it doesn’t come as a huge surprise. It doesn’t make the cuts any easier for anybody involved. 1 down and 11 more to go before Monday’s 1:00pm deadline to get down to 75 players.
