Raider Nation Radio Host Q Myers Addresses Germaine Pratt’s Release

The Raiders released veteran linebacker Germaine Pratt on Monday, and there is still a lot of mystery to why the team decided to move on from Pratt so abruptly.

Head coach Pete Carroll said the team “thought it was time to go in a different direction” following Pratt’s release and didn’t make any other statements on what led to the decision.

There are some theories swirling about “friction” in the Raiders’ locker room, but nothing has been reported on Pratt and specifically what led to him being left home for the week 5 game in Indianapolis.

Raider Nation Radio host Q Myers addressed Pratt’s release on Monday, and he believes there must have been some level of “disconnect” between Pratt and the coaching staff.

“A lot of people reached out to me and said, ‘Q, why was the move made?’ And the only thing I can assume, and again, this is just an assumption, this is not me reporting. I have not heard this. I just kind of know how things go… and it just seems like that there was probably some kind of disconnect,” Myers said on the Locked on Raiders podcast on Monday.

“I know there’s been all kind of different rumors and reports out there, and I’m not going to bring those to the table because none of those I know are factual. I just know that there are rumors and reports out there by some people with sources here and there. And unless I know it to be true, I don’t want to bring it to the table and just throw some reckless speculation out there. But seems like all the players and all the coaches are not on the same page,” Myers continued.

“The one thing that I could tell you is when you bring in veterans that have been doing it at a very high level for a long time, sometimes they’re kind of stuck in their way. Sometimes it’s one of those, this is how I’ve always done it type situation. And maybe the coaching staff did not see eye to eye with Jermaine Pratt.”

It’s interesting that so little is known about the Pratt situation, but details will eventually come to the surface.

The loss of Pratt sets back the Raiders’ linebacker room a little, but Jamal Adams has played well in his limited role, and it might not be a bad thing for the defense to have Adams on the field more.
