This was a tough decision. Not enough can be said about Marcel's commitment to his teammates and his pride in the Raiders, and we wish him and his family nothing but the best."

"Marcel was a great teammate and I appreciate him as a player on the field and as a man off the field," said Head Coach Jack Del Rio. "I wish him all the best moving forward."
