The Las Vegas Raiders could get involved with another superstar quarterback.
Getty Russell Wilson with Derek Carr. The amount of superstar quarterback movement that could happen this offseason is completely unprecedented. We’ve already seen Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff get swapped and Carson Wentz is probably close to getting moved. Deshaun Watson wants out of Houston and the Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly getting interest in Derek Carr. As if things couldn’t get any wilder, Russell Wilson might get added to the list of quarterbacks who want a trade. CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora reported Monday that the star quarterback is “increasingly frustrated” by the fact that they can’t protect him as he’s been sacked 394 times in nine seasons. It’s still too early to tell if Wilson will request a trade, but if he does, La Canfora reported that the Raiders would be interested: The Raiders should be all over this as well, and I hear there is certainly some interest on their part. Las Vegas is metropolitan enough, it is close to Wilson’s home in California, the stadium is exquisite and climate controlled, they have some top offensive talent in place, Jon Gruden has a Super Bowl ring as a head coach and a 10-year contract. I’d posit the Raiders would be a significant fit for Wilson more than you might imagine at first blush.
