It's so hard to upgrade mid-season though.  Bad teams usually have bad offensive linemen.  


And the ones who have good ones want to keep them to properly evaluate their QB situation.

Save the picks, save the cap. We are going to contend for the next 5 years at least. There is too much luck involved (single elimination playoffs) to go all in on one year unless you think it is your last year to make a run (like if you have a super old franchise QB).

 I don't think we are in real need at RB, but I'd give up a 3rd for Jacobs. The offense becomes so much harder to defend with a guy like Jacobs in the backfield. He'd get teams to bring their safeties in closer, allowing for bigger pass plays, more often. He'd be the only RB out there I would make trade for.

 

 

I'd absolutely take Jacobs for a 3rd. I just don't see anything that indicates the Raiders would do that. Why would they get rid of their best RB for a 3rd? That rounder next year likely had little impact on improving the Raiders.

Pretty sure Beane already has his 2023 salary cap board all sorted out and knows what needs to be done, and my gut tells me there is not as much wiggle room and some think.

More money is going to flow but there will still be some tough decisions and some upset fans when the ax has to fall.

 

Of course he does.  Everything isn't chiseled in stone, but he knows what the options are.

If they had any intention of keeping him they would have picked up his 5th year option in April. They did not.

And if they let him go, they’ll get a 3rd rd comp pick.  
 

He was a different RB when they declined his option.  He’s MUCH better right now.  How long will this new Jacobs last?  🤷🏻‍♂️

because they declined his 5th year option which means it’s 99% likely he ain’t coming back next year and they’re 2-5 in a division with the Chiefs.

When a player who can’t get on the field for that incredibly elite squad in Washington is going to be considered an improvement, you know you’re in trouble. Not to mention one whose back is sounding like it’s going to require surgery.

Pretty certain Tuesday is his vet rest day

Hmm...I don't know, Texans beat reporters who are reporting it should be aware of that I would think.

 

Tuesday is normally every player's day off on a normal NFL Sunday game schedule

Cooks normally gets a LP or DNP on Weds as vet rest.

 

The Texans are playing this Thurs though, so unclear how they adjust their schedule - Tues is not gonna be a day off with a Thurs game.

I think everyone would part with a 3rd for Jacobs…..

 

Too bad the raiders won’t part with Jacobs for a 3rd.  
 

jmo-  gonna cost more

Probably not but never know. They might be inclined to blow the whole thing up soon. Carr is terrible. Mcdaniels might not make it through the year.
