Report: Former Clemson safety to be waived |
Las Vegas linebacker
Tanner Muse will be waived according to a report Monday by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
"A surprise: The Raiders are waiving linebacker Tanner Muse," Pelissero tweeted. "Muse was a third-round pick out of Clemson in 2020. Missed his entire rookie season because of a toe injury, but took starter reps throughout camp and was a core special teamer." Look for Muse to catch on somewhere this week as he is still young with his great speed and scheme versatility. Muse was selected 100th overall in the third round by the Raiders in the 2020 NFL Draft. In 2019 as a senior at Clemson, he was named a Thorpe Award semifinalist registering 55 tackles, two sacks, four interceptions, and five passes defended. During his time at Clemson, he recorded 192 tackles (105 solo), four sacks, seven interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, 15 passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. I know #Raiders added K.J. Wright and Denzel Perryman, but man, they couldn’t room for Tanner Muse, a 3rd-rounder from a year ago who took had a chance to show out in camp this offseason. A surprise: The #Raiders are waiving linebacker Tanner Muse, source said. Tanner Muse does a solid job setting the edge on this play and forcing the run inside.. If one player on the #Raiders surpassed my expectations, Muse is him!!! He earned his roster spot. pic.twitter.com/y0QYbqVhOJ With @Raiders getting ready to officially sign K.J. Wright, Tanner Muse has been waived.
Welp.
