After adding wide receiver Antonio Brown, the Oakland Raiders may not be done as they reportedly have Kyler Murray and Le’Veon Bell on their radar

The Oakland Raiders just pulled off a massive trade in which they picked up wide receiver Antonio Brown from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a third and fifth-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. That move was great for Oakland as it gave them a legitimate Pro Bowl receiver and they didn’t even have to touch their three first round picks.

That’s a positive development for a team that needs to add a lot of talent coming off a four-win season. What’s even more positive is the belief they may not be done adding explosive talent to an offense that was incredibly stagnant in 2018.

NFL insider Benjamin Albright recently tweeted that the Raiders could be going after another big-name from the Pittsburgh Steelers in Le’Veon Bell — as well as potentially targeting Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray in the 2019 NFL Draft.

The move for Bell would reunite Brown with his former teammate. Bell becomes a free agent next week after sitting out the entire 2018 season due to a contract dispute with the team. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him join forces with AB, who also left the Steelers with some hard feelings.

What could be more surprising is the Kyler Murray news. While this isn’t  a new rumor, the fact is the Raiders would have to give up a lot of draft stock to move from No. 4 to No. 1 to secure Murray and they would then have to figure out what to do with current starting quarterback Derek Carr and his high price tag.

There have been conflicting reports about whether or not Carr and head coach Jon Gruden get along, but there seems to be no denying that Gruden loves Murray.

Should Oakland find a way to pull this all off, it would be interesting, to say the least. They would then have two massive personalities in Brown and Bell and a quarterback with questions about his height, build, and ability to adapt to an NFL offense.

Next. Grading the Antonio Brown trade. dark

This could end up giving them one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL, or it could all blow up on them if Murray can’t become a legitimate pro. If nothing else, it would make for great entertainment.
