On the same note as my comments about Tampa's situation in the division?
If you're McDaniels, why go to the Raiders now?
- They released Ruggs and Damon Arnette has legal issues to deal with - Both 1st rounders.
- Derek Carr is their QB as of right now. Assuming they don't get Rodgers, are you competing in that division with someone at level of a Carr (or worse)?
- Herbert in LAC, Mahomes in KC and just play along, Rodgers in Denver for the next 2-3 years? Best case they're in 3rd place and there's NO chance of them winning that division.
My point? Seems to me McDaniels is running from his NE situation rather than running TO a great opportunity. I mean, go to the Jags, get Trevor Lawrence and go against the Titans and the Carson Wentz Colts.
