Potential Raiders Trade Agreements: Las Vegas Raiders Need A QB
|Davante Adams, a 31-year-old player with the Las Vegas Raiders, will likely be among the team’s oldest players in 2024. The team has only four players over 30 under contract for 2024.
The Raiders’ new head coach, Antonio Pierce, may prioritize developing young players. ESPN’s Aaron Schatz proposed a trade involving Adams and the No. 13 pick to the Arizona Cardinals for the No. 4 pick.

Will the Raiders utilize that pick on a quarterback? No. Schatz believes the Raiders will choose former Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. to replace Adams.
“Is Adams happy in Las Vegas? “He says yes, but his role may change with a new coaching staff,” Schatz wrote in his February 23 column. “With Adams nearing 32 this year, it might make sense for the Raiders to move on from his hefty contract.
“So, how about trying to replace Adams with prized wide receiver Harrison? A significant trade up the draft board would help the Cardinals enhance their receiving corps with Adams while also providing them the 13th overall choice to bolster their league-worst defense in 2023. The Raiders might receive possibly the best receiving prospect in years on a rookie contract.”
Harrison is predicted to be the first wide receiver taken in the 2024 NFL Draft, having won the Fred Biletnikoff Award for the finest wide receiver in college football in 2023.
