The Las Vegas Raiders are making significant roster adjustments following the 2025 NFL Draft. The team has waived six players: cornerback M.J. Devonshire, wide receiver Ramel Keyton, defensive tackle Tyler Manoa, linebackers Kana’i Mauga and Jackson Mitchell, and running back Isaiah Spiller. The decision to release these players comes as the Raiders prepare for an influx of new talent, making it clear that the current regime is looking for a fresh start. Despite being a seventh-round pick last year, Devonshire's opportunity was limited as he spent the entire season on the practice squad. Keyton, once a promising prospect from Tennessee, failed to make an impact during his brief stint. Manoa and Mauga, who contributed mainly on special teams, were seen as expendable as the team aims to revamp its roster with more effective players post-draft.

Tyler Manoa, a defensive tackle previously on the Las Vegas Raiders' practice squad, faced a dramatic incident last weekend at Allegiant Stadium during a National Rugby League match. The undrafted player, who was a guest of honor and had just participated in the ceremonial Viking horn blowing for the Canberra Raiders, was ejected from the venue due to alleged misconduct in the bathroom, including property damage. After Canberra's convincing 30-8 win over the New Zealand Warriors, the NRL decided not to investigate further, indicating that the Raiders would move on without further action regarding Manoa's behavior.

With a collegiate background at UCLA and Arizona, where he accumulated 43 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks over five seasons, Manoa's pro career has faced challenges. His ejection at such a high-profile event raises questions about his future with the Raiders and whether this incident will hinder his professional aspirations in the NFL.
