Johnathan Hankins

This is the least likely to happen, but with how well younger defensive tackles such as Maurice Hurst and PJ Hall have played, as well as run stopper Corey Liuget joining the team, Hankins time in Oakland could be dwindling.

The one reason this trade probably won’t happen is that the Raiders do not have a ton of defensive tackle depth, but Hankins would be able to draw a decent draft pick, and if the Raiders could find another defensive tackle to add in free agency, they may pull the trigger.

Although losing Hankins may string a bit this year, we would be returning Hall, Hurst, and Liuget. The Raiders have done a solid job of drafting defensive lineman over the last two seasons, so if they could get a decent pick for Hankins, they may do it.
