Just a day after roster cuts to get the team down to 53 players, punter Chris Kluwe appears to have been let go by the Raiders on Sunday.

Kluwe tweeted on Sunday a couple of goodbye messages to the organization along with praise for his competition, Marquette King.

Thanks to everyone at the Raiders for the opportunity this preseason. It was a blast. @MarquetteKing's got a bright future with you guys!

Kluwe also went on to state that he felt he gave it his all during the offseason with the Raiders.

Feel like we both had a pretty strong preseason. No regrets.

Kluwe averaged 48.3 yards per punt during the preseason, while King averaged 54.3 yards per punt. Both punters had an equal number of punts with six attempts in preseason.

With the decision to go with King, the Raiders also get a younger punter with possibly greater potential.

King took to twitter as well and showed his appreciation for Kluwe:

Had a great expirence with @ChrisWarcraft this preseason we got each other better. It was an honor bro. #KickSquad
