Over the last two weeks, struggling teams have moved notable players, including the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders had a different circumstance with wide receiver Davante Adams’ trade request, but if they fall to 2-6 on Sunday, general manager Tom Telesco may want to consider shopping players for draft capital.
Telesco doesn’t have a history of being an aggressive dealmaker. So, he could keep the status quo and leave some suspense as to what’s to come next season.
That said, head coach Antonio Pierce has balked at the idea of tanking at this point in the campaign, indicating that the team hasn’t shifted its focus to an emphasis on development over winning games. With that mindset, he’s expected to get the most out of a flawed roster and field a competitive squad.
The Raiders’ brain trust may want to see how the players respond to Pierce’s coaching style while the team is far out of playoff contention before re-evaluating the franchise’s short-term outlook for the 2025 offseason.
