Wow geno smith to the raiders

[Aussie Tank]

Apparently Seattle wanted Crosby for both Geno and DK the Raiders nipped that in the butt

So the raiders talked to Sanders and said forget that let’s get Geno.  Is Sanders a late rounder / second rounder now?  I don’t think many if any teams want that baggage

This saves Carroll from drafting a rookie and basement dwelling for the next two seasons.  Everyone knows new coaching staff + rookie QB = suck.  Don't get me wrong, they ain't making the playoffs, but they will have a significantly better record than last year.

It seems weird to trade Gino before you know that you can sign Sam

Two ways to look at it. Either the Raiders think that Ward and Sanders are gone by #6 or they've decided they don't want any part of the circus. And if the Raiders are bowing out of a circus? Wow.

The wild thing will be if they still draft Sanders at #6 after the trade for Geno because you KNOW they Sanders camp will be pushing to be the day one starter. It'll be a proper poo show. LOL

They just released some key vets and seem to be in the process of trading Metcalf. Sure seems like they're just hitting the reset button. Signing Sam Darnold honestly doesn't make a lot of sense for them. My boy Sam Howell might be getting ready to get tossed into a raging dumpster fire. LOL

He’s the bridge for Saunders same style of play

I really want two QBs to go before us.  These teams ahead of us need to stop filling that spot

Geno is miles better than Darnold.

Well now Seattle could need to move up, as well.

Howell starting would be a very obvious tank move.

It's strange for a HC to be down with a full tank in year two. I am skeptical about that.

I think maybe they recognized that Geno was basically a 10-15 ranked QB that was likely still going to command a significant price. The QB market has some interesting options too. Washed former greats(Rodgers, Wilson, Cousins), draft QB's that no one is super excited about and some potentially attractive reclaimation projects for the completely delusional(Darnold, Fields).
