McNabb to Oakland?
The Raiders Post
ESPN reports that the Oakland Raiders have emerged as the top contender to land Donovan McNabb in a trade.
This would be an interesting move, a trade for McNabb would definitely indicate that the Raiders are serious about putting together a winning team. Though the move would open up a number of other questions. Like what do you do with JaMarcus Russell, do you draft another young QB in the next year or two to become the heir apparent?
Supposedly the trade would be for Oakland’s 2nd round pick (39th) overall. Philadelphia has made it clear they want a top 42 pick for McNabb. In my opinion I like the move, it adds a proven leader and play maker at the most important position on the team. If this move does occur, it along with the trade for Richard Seymour last year and Kamerion Wimbley this off-season, could really vault the Raiders back into playoff contention.
The Raiders cut some dead money this off-season by releasing Gerard Warren, Javon Walker and Greg Ellis and Justin Fargas.
The Raiders still have some work to do, they need to shore up their offensive and defensive lines, find a corner to pair with Asomugha. The need to see who emerges as the starting running back Michael Bush or the oft injured Darren McFadden. The also need to find a run stuffing MLB and move Kirk Morrison outside or move him all together in a trade.
