The Facts: The Oakland Raiders have cut Garcia, a source tells Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com, who also is a contributor to Sporting News.

Diehards Line:When Garcia joined the Raiders, he was supposed to push incumbent JaMarcus Russell. But Garcia had a calf strain for much of training camp that kept him from doing that. Now, as Florio explains, the veteran isn’t likely to make another team’s roster until after the first game of the regular season because his base salary would be guaranteed if he is on a Week 1 roster.
