The Las Vegas Raiders' season has not gone according to plan. While Pete Carroll shared that he was expecting to compete right away after taking over, the team is just 2-6 following Sunday's gut-wrenching 30-29 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The loss has almost certainly guaranteed that the Raiders will miss the postseason for the fourth consecutive year. The focus on the team should clearly shift to the future, and figuring out which young players can be long-term contributors.
That could lead to several players being moved, if the price is right, ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline.
