Today ESPN’s Bill Barnwell went back 365 days to look at trades across the league which were most impactful. And the Raiders had a major presence on the list. Starting with two trades the Raiders made which were labeled as ‘utterly useless’. Well, that is unless you consider throwing away and third and fifth round pick to be useless. I’m sure they were somewhat useful to the teams which got them.
The Oakland Raiders made a pair of utterly useless moves in giving up a third-round pick for Martavis Bryant and a fifth-round selection for AJ McCarron, who combined to play 232 offensive snaps in 2018.
