The Oakland Raiders waived quarterback Christian Hackenberg, the team announced Tuesday as part of a series of moves.

Hackenberg was acquired by the Raiders from the New York Jets on May 22 for a conditional 2019 seventh-round draft pick. The Raiders will therefore keep the pick, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The 23-year-old was selected in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Jets but never met expectations and never even played a down during his two seasons in New York.

After being waived by the Raiders, Hackenberg's NFL run as one of the biggest draft busts in recent memory may have reached its end.
