Aaron Rodgers is the pipe dream splash. Jarett Stidham, Jacoby Brissett and Jimmy Garoppolo are the more logical fits both financially and, more importantly, philosophically.
But after all those aforementioned quarterbacks, the pickings in free agency gets mighty thin for the Las Vegas Raiders. Rodgers, of course, would be a trade that requires draft assets to be sent the Green Bay Packers way — making it a difficult proposition.
Why?
Raiders general manager Dave Ziegler is keen to say he wants to build via the draft and supplement the roster via free agency.
