NFL trade rumors: Raiders expected to stay calm at 2024 deadline after Adams deal | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

The Las Vegas Raiders appear to be done with the trade market.

Vic Tafur and Tashan Reed The Athletic reported that the Raiders plan to “stand still” and make no more moves other than trading Davante Adams before the Nov. 5 NFL trade deadline:

The Raiders traded Davante Adams last month and have lost four games in a row, so it’s clear that when it comes to Tuesday’s trade deadline, they’re going to… sell, sell, sell! No. This doesn’t make sense. They are by far the worst team in the AFC West and, barring a miraculous turn of events, the Raiders will not be able to make the playoffs this year. Here’s why the Raiders should stay put. And, according to team sources, this is exactly what is expected of them.

Tafur and Reed reported that the Raiders do not view the current situation as a “full-scale teardown” and that the team believes it can be competitive in 2025 thanks to a strong offseason.

Las Vegas is currently 2-6 and in last place in the AFC West standings. The franchise has lost four games in a row. Trading Adams to the New York Jets on October 15 netted the Raiders a conditional third-round pick.

While the roster isn’t necessarily loaded with talent, a few players could generate draft capital and help the front office navigate the offseason by providing more options for finding future core players. Defensive end Maxx Crosby could certainly be an intriguing option for many teams at this deadline, but the Raiders have been consistent in their moves. wish retain the three-time Pro Bowler.

Instead, it looks like the Raiders will try to ride out the 2024 season as is and make a splash in the offseason, allowing the team to contend in the AFC in 2025 and beyond.
