The Raiders have released S Stuart Schweigert, CB Duane Starks and DE/OLB Akbar Gbaja-Biamila.  Schweigert was the only one of these players that was a Raider last season.  He played in 15 games (10 starts) for the Raiders last season and he made 69 tackles, defensed 4 passes and intercepted 2.  He played in 63 games (42 starts) in his career with the Raiders and he made 315 tackles, defensed 18 passes and intercepted 4 passes.  This is a sign of progress as Schweigert definately had limitations as to what he could do on the field.
