The Las Vegas Raiders are clearly going to be in the market for a quarterback this offseaosn.
While a likely path will be in the first round of the draft, but the process hasn’t even started, so there may be some other avenues to find a quarterback.
Of course, the rumor mill is already churning that the Cincinnati Bengals could get to the point where they entertain trade talks for star quarterback Joe Burrow. In fact, after Burrow made some comments about his overall frustration last week, some talk heads have already connected the Raiders to a potential pursuit of Burrow.
If the Burrow talk continues to percolate in the offseason, we will have plenty of time to discuss the pro and cons of making a move for the 29-year-old based on his injury history and cost in terms of contract. Yet, because it is so early in the process, let’s just focus on the cost in trade compensation terms.
Let’s be real; the cost is going to be enormous for any team to trade for Burrow. It has already been speculated it could cost up to three first-round picks and two second-round picks.
I’ve talked to some folks who think it could cost the Raiders their top pick in 2026 (even it’s the No. 1 overall pick), super pass-rusher Maxx Crosby and maybe even 20025 top pick, running back Ashton Jeanty. This is all speculation, but the point is, the Raiders would have to give up a ton in this trade and Crosby may have to be part of it.
While this is all just discussion mode, but would you entertain that trade idea?
