💥 BREAKING NEWS: An NFL exec reveals a bold move that could transform the Raiders’ future and send shockwaves through the entire NFL Draft ⚡. DH

A prominent NFL executive recommended a move for the Las Vegas Raiders that could fundamentally reshape the franchise’s future over the next decade and impact the NFL Draft.

The Las Vegas Raiders (2-11) are in the midst of a dismal season, but that doesn’t mean things always have to be that way.

A prominent NFL executive recommended a move for the Las Vegas Raiders to me last night that could fundamentally reshape the franchise’s future over the next decade and impact the NFL Draft.

A Trade for the Ages?

This executive suggested that the Raiders reach out to the Cincinnati Bengals following recent comments by their quarterback, Joe Burrow.

With the Raiders holding what appears to be a nearly particular top-five pick in the upcoming National Football League Draft, could they parlay it into a bona fide franchise QB to lead the Silver and Black?

The Comments Heard Around the League

“If I want to keep doing this, I have to have fun doing it. I have been through a lot. If it’s not fun, then what am I doing it for?”  Those are the thoughts the Bengals franchise QB, Joe Burrow, recently shared.

Andrew Luck 2.0

Many remember another former franchise QB, the excellent Andrew Luck, who walked away from the game.

Could the losses and constant physical beating Burrow takes every year be leading to a change of scenery?

The issue at hand is that for a franchise in the Bengals, perennially regarded as one of the cheapest in the NFL, a chance to move away from a QB with a high price tag (If indeed he wants out) could sell the trade to their franchise by offering that they now get their pick of signal callers in the next draft.

Tom Brady Makes a Splash

For the Las Vegas Raiders and new minority owner Tom Brady, it is a chance to make the big splash that they coveted.

• The Raiders lost out on former Detroit Lions OC Ben Johnson, who took the Chicago Bears job.  According to sources, Johnson took less money to stay in the Windy City.
• The Raiders lost out on Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford, who chose to take less money and stay with the Rams.

Whether it happens or not, Tom Brady isn’t afraid of risk, he wants to win now.  Get Burrow or not, the Raiders at least have to kick the tires.

Kolton Miller Back?

At 2-11, there is no reason in my opinion worthy of the Las Vegas Raiders bringing back Kolton Miller to play after recovering from an injured ankle.

There is no clear indication yet that he will play.  But he returned to practice, and Coach Pete Carroll discussed it on Wednesday.

“Yes, he’s getting close. He’ll do some stuff today with us for the first time.”

Miller was limited I practice on Wednesday and Thursday, per the team.
