4 dream trades for Las Vegas Raiders before training camp
By Gino Terrell
What if the Las Vegas Raiders were able to pull off a blockbuster trade before camp?
Could the Las Vegas Raiders get creative and acquire a great player who would turn this team to a powerhouse?
Before training camp hits is the perfect time to pull off a blockbuster trade. The timing would give these players enough time to learn the system and find their role within the organization.
For a team inside the same division as the reigning Super Bowl champs in the Kansas City Chiefs, the Raiders will have their work cut out for them. However, acquiring these four players would make them a legitimate threat to knock off the Chiefs.
4. Las Vegas Raiders trade target: Malik Hooker
The Raiders need to fix their defense. While second-year safety Johnathan Abram flashed potential in camp last year before suffering a season-ending injury in Week 1, the back line could still use help.
The Indianapolis Colts recently declined the fifth-year option on Hooker, making him expendable. For a mid-round pick, Raiders general manager Mike Mayock could swoop in and nab a player once thought to be a rising star in the league.
