Antonio Callaway is on a team that has too many mouths to feed. The Browns also didn’t feel comfortable with Callaway, because they made a deal with the Tennessee Titans in the offseason acquiring Taywan Taylor.
Callaway is a deep threat that can help the Raiders stretch the field. In 2018, Callaway had an 11.5 yards per catch with 48 receptions and four touchdowns. What’s also beneficial about him is he’s in his second year and is only 22-years old so there’s plenty of potential for him to stay on the team for many years to come.
Hear me out. The Raiders hit gold in the trade with Green Bay for Trevor Davis. The Raiders could use another player with speed who can stretch the defense. He’s young which makes his trade value even greater for the Raiders.
If your cant get A.J Green, where you’d get 2-3 more elite years, you’d get 6-9 productive seasons with Callaway, and you’d get another fantastic kick returner as well.
I don’t think the Raiders would benefit in the short term from this trade but in the long term, they could. You’d be getting raw talent for Jon Gruden to coach and help develop into someone who can be a playmaker in the offense. However, the question is, again, do you believe in your defense enough to warrant spending a draft pick on a developmental player who needs time?
