The Green Bay Packers are signaling their readiness to engage in trade discussions for the No. 4 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, while the Las Vegas Raiders are in dire need of securing a stable future at the quarterback position.
Considering the circumstances, the Raiders might find it wise to explore trading up in the draft, particularly if their desired quarterback prospect remains available after the first few picks.
Rick Spielman, a former NFL Executive of The Year, suggests that both the Raiders and the Arizona Cardinals could be inclined to orchestrate a significant trade before the 2024 NFL Draft commences.
There has been ongoing speculation surrounding Davante Adams’ future with the Raiders, with some suggesting that he could seek a trade.
One proposal put forward by a former general manager involves the Raiders trading Adams to the Cardinals in exchange for the No.
4 overall pick, providing the Raiders with an opportunity to select a top-tier quarterback like J.J. McCarthy, Drake Maye, or Jayden Daniels.
Such a move would attract attention, as Adams is coming off an impressive 2023 season despite facing challenges with inconsistent quarterback performances.
In Arizona, the Cardinals appear committed to Kyler Murray, potentially opening the door for negotiations with teams in need of a quarterback like the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, or the Raiders.
The Green Bay Packers signed Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs and then cut veteran Aaron Jones in a move that surprised head coach Matt LaFleur.
As the Dallas Cowboys faced the setback of losing Tony Pollard, their running back situation took a hit, while the Green Bay Packers experienced a contrasting outcome.
In a notable move during free agency, the Packers secured Las Vegas Raiders’ running back Josh Jacobs with a lucrative four-year, $48 million deal.
With Jacobs joining Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, the Packers boasted a formidable backfield – until changes occurred. The unexpected release of Jones, who had been gradually regaining form in the latter part of the season, altered the dynamics. Notably, Dallas wasn’t in contention for Jacobs, Jones, or Dillon.
Meanwhile, a key rival of Dallas, the team that triumphed over the Cowboys in a playoff upset, made significant moves.
Head coach Matt LaFleur expressed surprise at the front office’s decision to sign Jacobs and subsequently release Jones, stating that he was not privy to all the factors at play. The process unfolded swiftly, catching LaFleur off guard, though he conveyed enthusiasm about acquiring Jacobs.
