The decision was reported to be a financial one, and NFL experts expect another team to sign the defensive end.

Zeigler said Nassib’s solid performance last season — including athat led the Raiders to a win against the Baltimore Ravens — helped break down barriers for LGBTQ athletes.

“Major men’s sports are far more accepting than anyone gives them credit, and to me, Carl shined a light on that,” Zeigler said. “Carl was warmly embraced publicly by the NFL, the teams, the players. He had an absolutely thrilling end where he sealed the game for the Raiders in his first game as an out player, and all of that just inspires other young football players to see that they can be out in their sport, they can compete at a high level, and they can be accepted.

“Carl’s a modern-day trailblazer in the NFL,” said O’Callaghan, who played for the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs. “What he’s been able to accomplish answered a lot of questions for other closeted players, whether they can come out and be themselves and still have a successful career.

“He’s going to end up on another team. He had a great year,” O’Callaghan added. “It’s definitely not the end.”
