The move will be designated as a post June 1 release, saving the Raiders $8 million against the salary cap, but he is free to sign with another team now.
Nassib, 28, had 1.5 sacks and four quarterback hits in 13 games last season. He has 22 sacks, 164 tackles and four forced fumbles in 86 games (37 starts) with the Cleveland Browns (2016-17), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2018-19) and Raiders.
