Tavecchio was waived by the Raiders on Friday, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Tavecchio was battling rookie Eddy Pineiro for the starting job, and considering the latter received an atypically high $25,000 signing bonus as an undrafted free agent, the decision isn't entirely surprising. Tavecchio also struggled with the Raiders last season, completing just 16 of 21 field goal attempts (76.0 percent). Luckily for the 28-year-old, he'll have an entire preseason to find a new landing spot.
