The deadline has passed for NFL teams to make trades. There were some interesting moves made, with 22 different franchises making a deal, but the Raiders were not among those teams either buying or selling. They stood pat.
At 3-5, with a struggling offense, there was some speculation that the Raiders might move someone for draft capital, but nothing materialized.
The primary names that were mentioned among Raiders players were wide receivers Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow, and running back Josh Jacobs.
Adams and Jacobs’s names were mentioned because they are the stars on this offense and thus would figure to hold the most value in trade.
Renfrow was the most discussed because he has seen his role in the offense disappear two years after catching 106 passes and heading to the Pro Bowl.
All three players would probably welcome a trade in the hopes that they would see their numbers return to a range they were used to prior to this season. And also hopefully on a team with a shot at the playoffs.
Technically the Raiders are just two games under .500, but the offense has been so terrible, there is little hope they will somehow turn things around.
They have yet to score even 20 points this season, and are currently 30th in points scored and 31st in yards.
