Matthew Stafford is exploring his options. Should the Raiders and Pete Carroll go all-in on the Rams' Super Bowl-winning quarterback?
The idea of Los Angeles Chargers star Joey Bosa joining the Las Vegas Raiders after a possible release this offseason has started to gain some traction. But even more concerning things for the Chargers could be brewing when looking at Pete Carroll’s Raiders.
Additionally, Las Vegas has the draft capital to pull off a trade for Stafford and the cap space to sign him to a new deal. NFL Network's Peter Schrager reported that the former No.1 pick wants to be paid more than $50 million annually on a new contract. The Raiders are projected to have $99 million in cap room, per Over the Cap.
The Las Vegas Raiders may have to give up Aidan O'Connell if they want to trade for the star veteran quarterback.
