Wilson’s agent named a handful of teams as destinations that the Pro Bowler would consider, but one league insider believes that another team could jump into the mix. </p>
Raiders Seen As Potential Destination
<p><a target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/story//id/31026614/trade-offers-russell-wilson-seahawks-consider-deal-get-quarterback-return">ESPN</a>’s Bill Barnwell spun up a series of potential trades to ship Wilson out of Seattle, including one that brings him to an unlikely destination. The Raiders had not been seen as a potential suitor and appeared to be set with Derek Carr as quarterback, but Barnwell speculated that Las Vegas could still make a run at him.</p><p>He noted that the move could help the Raiders become more competitive while also helping the business bottom line.</p><p>"They won’t have trouble selling tickets in Las Vegas, but Wilson gives the Raiders a cornerstone as they try to win a playoff game for the first time since 2002," he wrote.</p>
Deal Would Be Costly For Las Vegas
<p>The deal would not be cheap for the Raiders. Barnwell speculated that the team would give up the No. 17 pick in this year’s NFL draft along with another first-round pick. They would then throw in quarterbacks Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota and tight end Darren Waller, fresh off his breakout season.</p><p>The trade would pull in the New England Patriots, who would land Carr and send their third-round pick to the Raiders while also sending defensive end Chase Winovich to the Seahawks. </p><p>“I could see how Raiders fans might think that was too much, but I could also see how Seahawks fans would think that wasn’t enough," Barnwell wrote. "When you have that combination, you typically have something close to a fair deal."</p>
Competition Would Be High
<p>The Raiders would likely have some tough competition in trying to land Wilson. There have been a number of other teams connected to him, including the Chicago Bears.</p><p>Fox Sports radio host Colin Cowherd said this week that Chicago could be preparing to make a massive offer. The Bears are in quarterback limbo with the expected departure of Mitchell Trubisky in free agency, and no clear successor within the organization. </p><p>A number of other teams are expected to be interested in Wilson should the Seahawks decide to deal him.</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://twitter.com/TheHerd/status/1370429180257595396?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1370429180257595396%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.si.com%2Fnfl%2Flions%2Fnews%2Frussell-wilson-could-play-for-chicago-bears"></oembed></figure>
Raiders Could Lock Down Carr
<p>While Barnwell’s speculative trade captured some headlines, other insiders believe that the Raiders are happy moving forward with Carr.</p><p>Vincent Bonsignore<strong><u> </u></strong>of the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/raiders/dak-prescotts-deal-has-ripple-effect-on-raiders-derek-carr-2301873/"><i>Las Vegas Review-Journal</i></a> even speculated that the team could look at signing Carr to an extension that would lock him down for the future. He wrote that this could be a secondary result of Dak Prescott’s new deal with the Dallas Cowboys, which could bring Carr and the Raiders to the negotiating table for a new deal that would give him a pay raise while securing his future with Las Vegas.</p>
