With Raiders beat writer Ryan McFadden playing the role of general manager John Spytek, four other ESPN writers submitted trade offers for Crosby, using the Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Chargers as potential partners. Let\u2019s take a look at each proposed deal.<\/p>\n
Bears (via Jeremy Fowler)<\/p>\n
Cowboys (via Dan Graziano)<\/p>\n
Buccaneers (via Ben Solak)<\/p>\n
Chargers (via Seth Walder)<\/p>\n
McFadden ended up taking the Cowboys\u2019 offer. Personally, having to give up a second-round pick and then pay Pickens, who is getting franchised tagged in this scenario since he\u2019s about to hit free agency, is too steep a price for Las Vegas to move on from its best player. In my opinion, the offer from the Buccaneers is the best option for the Raiders.<\/p>\n
Godwin would immediately become the offense\u2019s top wideout, giving expected No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza an immediate threat out wide to pair with tight end Brock Bowers. Meanwhile, the organization would also pick up a top 15 pick (the highest selection of the ones offered here) and a second-rounder next year to help with the rebuild, while only sacrificing a 2027 fifth in addition to Crosby. That\u2019d be hard for Spytek to turn down if he is looking to move on from the five-time Pro Bowler.<\/p>\n
