Obviously there's no obligation to have him on a roster.

There was this in his contract which allowed his contract to be voided if he "takes any action that materially undermines the public’s respect for, or is materially critical of, the Club, Player’s teammates or the club’s ownership, coaches, management, operations or policies"
Getting accused of another rape and threatening the witness over texts are probably can be classified as an action that undermines the public's respect for the club if they had kept him around.
He also has the standard "Conduct Detrimental to the team" clause in there as well. If they had suspended him 1st, then cut him, like the raiders did, hed have even less of a leg to stand on.
There is also the issue of he did not disclose this 2nd allegation prior to signing the contract, which he was aware of potentially coming to light, which can also void the contract.
Long story short, hes an idiot and wont be getting paid from the raiders or pats.
