As the Oakland Raiders look ahead to Week 8 of the 2018 NFL season, there are still quite a few rumblings about what could be going on in town. Jon Gruden's football team has struggled mightily this season, which has resulted in the team making some big moves. There was also a big trade made prior to the season with the move that sent Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears.
Earlier this week, the Raiders shook the NFL with a blockbuster trade that sent star wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a first-round draft pick.
According to a report from Vic Tafur of The Athletic, the Raiders could be looking to make more moves ahead of the October 30th trade deadline. He reported that “everyone is available” for trade at the right price.
If Oakland decides to have a firesale, there are quite a few players that could intrigue a lot of teams.
Among those players would be quarterback Derek Carr, who made it clear on Twitter that he loves being a member of the Raiders. Gabe Jackson and Kelechi Osemele have been two offensive line names that have come up as potential trade chips for the Raiders.
Both tight end Jared Cook and safety Karl Joseph could be names to watch on the trade market as well.
Gruden and company have not been shy about making major changes. They are loaded with draft picks and will be able to build their team the way they want it. Trading away stars is never easy, but Oakland seems to be confident with the moves they are making.
Expect to hear plenty of rumors surrounding the Raiders as the deadline approaches. They may be done making big moves, but it sounds like they are more than open to more wheeling and dealing.
