NYRaider Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 The Raiders are open to moving up or down at the #7 pick. Derek Carr is available for trade. And the team is likely going to tag Josh Jacobs but are open to a tag / trade deal if someone is willing to offer a premium pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His guarantees vest before the trade window opens in real life. He's said he won't extend the date on which they vest so I think you'll have to release him to avoid the 40 mil in cap hits.

sparky151 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Yeah, if I were Raiders, I'd keep Carr unless you're confident of getting someone better. At this early date, it's hard to be confident of that. Bengals aren't really looking to move anyone, but our trade block is everyone on the team but Burrow and Chase. Mixon would be cheap, like 5th or 6th round, others will be more. Several teams wanted Tee Higgins last year and his price hasn't gone down.

I am not sure there is anyone on the open market that is better than Derek Carr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostnote Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 The Las Vegas Raiders have made it clear they are intent on trading Josh Jacobs before they have to pay him. It seems like the NFL has gotten to that point again where we are shifting the mindset on the value of running backs in the league. Las Vegas has made it clear they want good compensation, but you have to know the market for a top teir RB against the willingness to pay him. Jacobs is worth the money, but what team or front office has shifted the mentality that RB's are a commodity and should be kept around? Frankly, this media guy doesn't see many suitors in the way of draft picks for Jacobs. Especially because they know they are going to have to pay him, as well as give up 2 first round picks if he is tagged. Ultimately, there are only a handful of teams that could entertain taking on Josh Jacobs such as Cincinnati Bengals, Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The question is, will any of them actually pull the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostnote Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 News broke that there is a yard sale in LA for Rams that are on the roster. One of the downfalls of having a Superbowl team is the explosion of salaries after you win the big game. The genius that was to mortgage draft picks for veterans doesn't seem to be as savvy as one might think. It's an older style to building a team, and if you get a group of veterans together who are not past the prime of their careers but have a few years left, could certainly come together for a common motive. Once that achievement is unlocked, the green paper flood gates can only hold so much and teams have to strip down to a shell and rebuild themselves back up. LA has a lot of picks in the 2023 draft, but they are no earlier than the middle of the 2nd round with many coming on Day 3 of the draft. Should be an exciting reboot or rebuild for the Rams.

ny92mike Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 New York Giants: The front office is in discussions with both Daniel Jones and Barkley in getting a long term deal worked out. Unfortunately, the team waiting too long to get an extension worked out so odds are they will be forced to use the franchise tag on one while the other one the team will be forced to over bid in free agency in an attempt to retain his services.
