According to Len Pasquarelli of CBSSports.com,  there’s probably a less than 50-50 chance that the Oakland Raiders will be able to keep linebacker Kamerion Wimbley, because they can’t afford to keep him on the roster without him restructuring his contract. Wimbley’s agent Joe Linta has indicated that they “continue to work hard to make it work,” but the situation is still up in the air. I’d be very surprised right now if Wimbley doesn’t end up being released.
