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.

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 

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

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

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

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).

      Dan Morgan interviews this week

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Another thread where the Huddle melts down over a Bryce comment.  "Conversations" and "Bryce Young has been signed to a new long-term contract" are still far away from being the gospel.  For a fanbase that has watched two top-3 drafted QBs come here, and us move on, only to see them elevate their play elsewhere, I find it comical. Bryce is flawed but this org is damned if you do and damned if you don't with BY9.  Why would our GM and HC say anything other than supportive about their QB1. Yes, he's extended, but I truly do not think if he goes out and has a repeat of the previous seasons, that he is here beyond 2027. They're giving him every opportunity and surrounding him with a ridiculous amount of assets on both sides of the ball. If he continues to pitch 110 yd/ game and cough up the ball while everyone else is busting their ass, no way Dan keeps him beyond the extension.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Ooof, I was not a Proctor fan. I agree w/ a lot of smarter folks than me that he's more of a guard and think his weight fluctuation is going to be something to navigate. I liked Lomu a lot, but figured there would be more talented guys there at 19. I also wasn't big on bringing in a TE via the draft. If it's not a vet (Njoku) or a trade for Mayer or Kmet, I'd just as soon see what the youngsters have. No need cluttering the room with more of the same.

      Sam Darnold & Bryce Young are two very different Qbs ..just saying the last 25 years approximately 2/3 of ALL  first round Qb's  in the NFL were or are bust.so for everyone who makes it like a Sam Darnold you have two that don't make it or are a bust
