Value is there but I want no parts of AJ BrownRabidraider wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2026 10:57 am Yahoo sports had this possible deal, (Slow news day...lol) what does everyone think? Is Brown too much of a distraction?
Philadelphia Eagles get: Maxx Crosby, 2026 3rd-round pick (No. 67)
Las Vegas Raiders get: A.J. Brown, 2026 1st-round pick (No. 23)
It would solve our WR1 issue, but not in love with a guy who was moaning about his useage after a game(s) that his team won. I also wouldn't throw in the 3rd round pick.Rabidraider wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2026 10:57 am Yahoo sports had this possible deal, (Slow news day...lol) what does everyone think?

I mean i dont hate it if we immediately flip brown for another first+ but no interest in adding him to the team.
This shit triggers me every time lol, Brock Bowers isn't a WR1, he just produces like one. Nothing to do with Maxx because at this point, I think we should just ride it out with him. But the Raiders need a WR1.raidersince63 wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2026 12:08 pm We already have a "WR1"...his name is Brock Bowers.
Seriously though, for me, two WR2s is just as good as one WR1. And I think by opening day we will likely have that, if we don't already.
It was tongue in cheek.NoThanksSir wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2026 12:11 pm This shit triggers me every time lol, Brock Bowers isn't a WR1, he just produces like one. Nothing to do with Maxx because at this point, I think we should just ride it out with him. But the Raiders need a WR1.
Couldn't disagree with you more. But I think you know that when you were on your Pickens kick lol.NoThanksSir wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2026 12:11 pm This shit triggers me every time lol, Brock Bowers isn't a WR1, he just produces like one.

Yup we certainly don't see eye to eye there. After that ship sailed there really isn't a legitimate WR1 to be had so I'm less interested in forcing the issue. But that doesn't mean Bowers is a WR, jmo of courseBoKnows81 wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2026 12:44 pm Couldn't disagree with you more. But I think you know that when you were on your Pickens kick lol.
True WR?..No, but he's faster than most TEs and has the hands of a WR and runs routes like a WR and most LBers and some DBs can't stop him.NoThanksSir wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2026 12:50 pm Yup we certainly don't see eye to eye there.

He's certainly talented. My argument is more about how a true WR1 impacts the defense, namely the safety and the QB's pre-snap read. Running an offense through the slot has it's limitations. We never called slot receivers #1's previously, and I don't think we should say the same for TE's like Bowers/Kelce.raidersince63 wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2026 1:11 pm True WR?..No, but he's faster than most TEs and has the hands of a WR and runs routes like a WR and most LBers and some DBs can't stop him.
He made a catch last year that I still cannot believe...it looked like something created by AI.
Oh, I get your point. It's just that like I said earlier, most elite WRs always seem to end up as a pain in the ass or as I said, "attention whores" and they seem to command bigger salaries. I'd prefer 2 solid #2s.NoThanksSir wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2026 1:13 pm He's certainly talented. My argument is more about how a true WR1 impacts the defense, namely the safety and the QB's pre-snap read.
