Las Vegas Raiders: 3 trade scenarios for CB Xavien Howard

Getting a player like Xavien Howard is not going to be easy, but the Raiders do have some solid young players who could get the job done. The Miami Dolphins have their issues on defense, including upfront, so a young former top draft pick like Clelin Ferrell could end up sweetening the deal for Howard.

Also, the Raiders would have to try and add to the DOlphins weapons on offense, and they could end up needing help at wide receiver. DeVante Parker, Jaylen Waddle, and Will Fuller are the likely starters at the position group, but a young, big wideout like Bryan Edwards could end up being a monster in the red zone.

Miami is a young, and rising team and they would like to stay with young talent as much as possible. While these two are nowhere near the elite player that Howard is right now, they have a ton of potential, and for Ferrell, a change of scenery could be just what he needs, especially after Jon Gruden stated he will be fighting for snaps this summer.
