He's going to trade him, too.

Send him to the NYG. Gruden seems to be sexually attracted to old men.

I feel sorry for Amari. He goes from a franchise that is imploding from within to a QB that is going to ruin him.

Ruin him? He’s already nothing special.

yep you're right forgot about that

He is nothing special but he's talented. Yes Carr has fallen off of a cliff and Amari has no hands, but Dak is still.... much much worse.

The thing is that it literally does not get worse than Amaris last 2 seasons. ANYWHERE will be better.
Yea also notsold on bringing anymore az defensive backs in here. Remember when tony Jefferson was going to be an all star and we had him so we passed on Derwin James?

Jefferson is quietly having pretty nice season so far.

Yeah, lowkey him and Weddle have been the league's best safety duo.
This defense has no weaknesses and the offense should not have any either. And yet here we are.
I was thinking about shit to trade for at the deadline I can’t think of really anything at all. I mentioned Rodney Hudson but I doubt that would happen. Maybe like a runningback but Collins isn’t the problem.

Raiders have an opt out clause after 2018 so give or take he's not going to be around to party in Vegas let alone next year.
I understand having 3 first round picks seems very good and all. Remember, it's a matter of what you do with those picks is how this whole thing works out. You can be the Browns and spend two first round picks on Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel. Or you can be the Rams and turn a bunch of picks from the RG3 trade into developing a great defense. You have to remember, Reggie McKenzie in the same 2014 draft the Browns chose Gilbert and Manziel in the first, chose Mack and Carr as his top two selections. That set up the Raiders nicely who were on their way to being a AFC Contender under Jack Del Rio. Now Gruden has the Raiders tanking at this point.

I could see the Giants making a ploy for Carr so they don't have to admit their mistake of passing on a QB this year and avoiding drafting a potential bust next year. Jaguars might make a play at him too and fix up that defense, they could be right back to where they were in 2017.

Giants send 2016 1st-round CB Apple to Saints
Saints acquired CB Eli Apple from the Giants in exchange for a 2019 fourth-round pick and a 2020 seventh-round pick.
The Saints were reportedly in the market for Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson, but it does not seem like Arizona is open to moving their star corner. Apple had a rocky run in New York and is not near Peterson's level, but he has played pretty well this season. This is a good get for New Orleans at a great price. Following this trade, the Saints are now without their first-, third-, and fourth-round picks in the 2019 draft.

Chad Kelly charged with criminal trespassing
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Broncos QB Chad Kelly was charged with first-degree criminal trespassing following an incident in Englewood, Colorado early Tuesday morning.
According to the police report, Englewood officers responded to a call about a man standing outside a residence around 1:17 in the morning. By the time they arrived, the man had entered the residence and been chased away by the occupant. Police eventually found a man who matched the description, later identified as Kelly. "We are disappointed that Chad Kelly was arrested early this morning," the Broncos said in a statement. "Our organization has been in contact with Chad, and we are in the process of gathering more information." Kelly lasted until the final pick of the 2017 draft because of several issues off the field in college including an arrest following a bar fight in Buffalo.

Carr, teammates have 'fractured relationship'
The Athletic's Marcus Thompson reports Derek Carr has a "fractured relationship" with his teammates.
With Khalil Mack and now Amari Cooper out the door, there have been rumblings the Raiders want to move on from Carr as well, and Thompson reports Carr's play and a perceived lack of toughness -- an absurd notion given how quickly he returned from a transverse fracture in his back -- have cost him the locker room. "The belief in him has deteriorated, perhaps to irreparable levels," Thompson writes. "It’s hard to see how Carr can lead this team again." Carr has four years left on a five-year, $125 million extension, but the Raiders can get out with a relatively minor cap hit after this season.

Regardless, it's pretty apparent that the Raiders are in for a rebuilding phase so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets released after this season. Methinks the Jags would be interested in him if Blake continues to struggle even though it shouldn't be a problem as Blake will transform into his superform also known as London Blake.
