Show notes

Cornerback Daryl Worley’s joins the Raiders Insider Podcast to discuss his second season wearing silver and black, and why he still feels beholden to Jon Gruden after the head coach took a chance on him following last offseason’s run-in with the law. Worley’s playing 2019 on a restricted free agent tender, and was candid about the fact he has considered what will happen in unrestricted free agency less than a year from now.
