Antonio Brown: 5 Possible trade destinations for 2019

2. Oakland Raiders

Disaster doesn’t even begin to describe what the 2018 season was like for the Oakland Raiders when looking at the expectations for this team after hiring Jon Gruden as their head coach.

Originally, the Raiders believed that Gruden would help the team to their high level of contending from two years ago in which they were a serious threat in the AFC. And while that could still be the case in the long run, Oakland seems to have a long way to go.

One of the main reasons why Raiders fans were so frustrated towards the team this season was seeing how they gave up on two star players in Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper. While it was easy to understand the team’s decision to move on from Mack when looking at the money he was demanding, sending Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys left Derek Carr without one of his top options in the passing game.

Gruden has a history of developing quarterbacks, but this was certainly a year to forget for Carr when seeing how much he struggled to help Oakland put up the necessary points each week. With someone like Brown, at least Carr would feel a lot better over how things played out with Cooper this season.
