Herbert’s Future, a Week 6 NFL Preview, Plus an NBA Deep Dive

PelisseroYeah, or even goes to a first if we win the Super Bowl. Yeah. And you get offered that as the Raiders and you're hanging. Let's say they're around 500 at the deadline.

PelisseroIf you're down spy tech, like you got to seriously consider it because we all know Mendoza is the future.

PelisseroCousins is on. He's got that weird option thing in his deal. So like hypothetically, they could try to trade him in March. But the cleaner thing to do would be if we get a really good offer now, let's trade him and let's put Mendoza in. Now, only they know in that building how close Mendoza really is to going out and starting.

PelisseroBut I don't foresee a benching Kirk Cousins scenario as long as they're in the playoff chase. I believe they ride this thing out. It's not going to be Kurt Warner to Eli Manning and you're five and four and just we got to play the rook. I don't think it's that because Clint's a big believer in waiting.

PelisseroBut if you had a trade offer that makes sense and you think Fernando is ready to go, I wouldn't put it past him even if the Raiders are still in the playoff chase just because we all know that's the future. And think about if you get that high pick, what that could do to continue to build the whole thing at a time that look at the Raiders roster, the offensive line, the receiver group, certain spots on defense are still

Pelisseroat places they need to add. Get an extra high draft pick. It can help you.

When's the trade deadline?
