Yeah. Don't want him gone but want the position upgraded.

Will be very curious to see how he does there. Injured the last 3 years and the brief on field results in 2022 definitely looked like he had lost a step.
that's not the deal i thought he'd get but a pleasant sign that maybe this year's WR market won't be as insane as 2022
he costs too much against the cap

I agree 4.5 mil is a bit much for a WR/KR but if you assume you’ll have to invest a pick, which we have few of, and/or sign a 1 or 2 FAs to replace his offense and ST production idk if you can get that much of a better deal given the market.
lol what?
they only just re-signed him in september...
if they knew the coaching staff didnt want him then why'd they extend him
and then why would they trade him for barely anything lol...
feel like surely the giants are gonna be after a WR in free agency too (or the draft also) and then that offence is pretty well stocked for Daniel Jones and Brian Daboll to play with

Yeah wtf are the Raiders doing? I'm feeling very bad about this whole off-season for us so far
for a returner to be costing 4.5m, he better be a legit weapon - maybe with the old kickoff rules, he'd be worth it but not in this age
demarcus robinson last year cost a quarter of what duv is gonna cost this year if we retain him - we'll likely be able to replace his WR production and probably improve on him for less than what he costs right now
what does this move have to do with us as the ravens?
raiders are a messy organisation...

True but Robinson doesn't have the return ability that he does, even if teams return kicks less and less every year. I'm assuming that we'll need to sign/draft two players to replace Duvernay which is at least a pick + vet min or two vet min contracts which would be at least half his salary in the most ideal scenario. Not to mention that we'll likely get some sort of comp pick if we retain him this year since he'll be a FA WR next year.
or someone we draft/sign offers return ability
we have tons of special teams guys who play just special teams every year - not much different to a returner who barely plays
and a draft pick and a vet to cover duv's roles is not really an issue given that we're looking to revamp the whole WR position anyway - it's not like it's creating a squeeze on the roster at other positions
no one's gonna pay enough to duv for it to get us a comp pick

You actually don't think Duvernay will attract enough attention to receive even a 7th round comp pick? Oliver was TE3 on our roster, albeit a good TE3, but still got a contract worthy of a 5/6 round comp pick. Even if he plays at his current level next year he's still a pro bowl returner and the market for WRs is significantly more expensive than TEs. I'm just hoping that if he stays he'll factor into the comp pick equation.
