Rumors are the Raiders are trying to trade Carr and a bunch of picks for Watson.

This offseason gonna be whack QB wise.....man I hope it causes some solid players at other positions to be let go so we can plug some holes!

 

For once the focus is on keep players and plugging up a piece or two. If the team resigns D.Williams, Mongo, Milano, Roberts, Ty and Barkley I don't see too many holes on this roster just a couple more pieces needed to get the team over KC.

I agree. I just hope those couple of pieces are a guard and maybe a TE or physical guy somewhere in the secondary.

Mahomes, Watson, and Herbert all in the same division....yes please?

I hope Watson goes to LV. It might help us by giving Mahomes a tougher path to the first round bye every season.

I think we’ve already seen the biggest quarterback move of the offseason. 
Reporters are bored. Every team has a package of players and picks to offer for Watson right now. 
I read a Baltimore story on Facebook from some “reporter” about sending Lamar and Judon (franchise tagged hypothetically in the story) and picks for Watson. 
It’s all madness and lack of interesting stories this offseason so far

If they resign Mongo and D.Williams I personally am fine with the Oline. I think they play together well and the resources needed to upgrade the oline aren't easy or available.

 

TE I wouldn't hate but it's not easy to find a prime time TE, there are only 4 to 5 in the league. I also think Knox could develop into a solid TE. 

 

I think this team desperately needs an edge rusher and possibly a big nickle to help cover TE's.

Interesting idea but who gives up two #1’s to begin with for Carr?

 

 

Doesn't make much sense...besides why not just use him in the trade for Watson then.

 

Though it would be a rare cruelty to put Derek Carr on the same team that broke his brother's spirit.

Don’t forget Drew Lock lol.

Good point if this happens picks from Denver should be good for a while because they're record is going to be *****.

agree. I think we get OL help from the draft and keep our current guys.  Edge or big nickel could come from FA.

Add another to the QB carousel 

 

 

 

So the whole idea of this notion, per Thad Brown, is that the Raiders want to trade Carr for 2 firsts.

Then take those and their next two firsts and flip them for Watson.

 

 

 

 

I think these scenarios are going a wee bit off the rails, myself.

When the Bills were going through the drought I cant remember a time where quality QB's were available for trade like now. We did trade for Bledsoe but that was it for 15+ years. Go figure

It really is a crazy time right now.

I think the point is that we're not likely going to be able to re-sign D Williams, Mongo, and Milano much less all of them PLUS Roberts, Ty Nsekhe, and Barkley.

And don't forget Isaiah McKenzie, Ike Boettger, Dean Marlowe and Levi Wallace who are either re-signings or holes

 

We can cut some players to create cap but then we have to fill those holes.

 

That was the whole point of Beane's presser saying we're going to have to make some hard choices.

I would like whatever the Mariota is better than car crowd is smoking because that take is objectively terrible.

 

I think it's going to take five or six first to get Watson and the reason why Carr doesn't just get moved for him is because Houston wants draft picks as opposed to players. 

 

Stafford just moved for two first round picks and Carr is better than Stafford and 3 years younger.  Two first round picks for Carris a deal that makes sense if your Chicago or if your San Francisco and you are currently looking to upgrade that position. That deal is in realistic for the Broncos because they're in the same division.

It's funny because QB is actually becoming somewhat of a "fungible" position.  There are a lot of excellent ones out there, and more coming out every year that look really good right out of the gate, or at least very soon afterwards.   So that makes me wonder why any team would trade for anything less than the best.  

 

Any team that trades for Derek Carr deserves what they get.  He's eminently replaceable

Barkley won't tipped the scales.  He should play for food and extra game tickets for his wife's pals at this point.

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just decoding the central premise of the OP:

Quote

For that to happen, the Raiders would have to receive two first-round picks for Carr, which they would then package with their own first-rounders in 2021 and 2022 to present a compelling offer of four first-round picks to the Texans for Watson, who has reportedly asked be traded.

I’ve always felt there’s also something “off”about Carr as a leader and teammate.
