At 4-4, the Las Vegas Raiders could be buyers and sellers before the November 10 trade deadline. Maxx Crosby and Jackson Powers-Johnson are drawing rumors, and general manager John Spytek could look to fill roster holes while the team remains in the playoff hunt.
Since the start of the season, the Raiders haven't made any notable trades to address their roster deficiencies, but that could change soon. For what it's worth, ESPN's Adam Schefter expects a lot of activity before Tuesday's deadline.
To bolster their rushing attack and run defense, the Raiders must be stronger in the trenches, and immediate solutions may not be on the current roster.
Raiders scouting report focuses on defensive tackles and a three-time Pro Bowl guard who could be on the move
Trade: DT Christian Barmore, New England Patriots
According to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, Christian Barmore is "clearly available."
During a segment on NBC Sports Boston, Breer revealed what the New England Patriots might demand in exchange for Barmore.
"My understanding is the price would be about a fourth-round pick, and he may be tradable because if you look at his contract, he's making $13.3 million this year," Breer said. "So you'd be taking on a prorated number off of that if you did trade for him. His numbers balloon after this year. ...Those numbers aren't guaranteed."
After starting in 16 out of 17 games last season, Barmore has fallen into a backup role for five of seven contests this year. Still, he's recorded seven tackles, three for loss. 3.5 sacks and seven pressures.
Still in his prime at 27, Barmore can be disruptive and plug the middle against the run. In two of his six campaigns, he's played at least 65% of defensive snaps, showing his ability to impact the game on all three downs. The Raiders would just need to vet some character concerns.
Trade: G Landon Dickerson, Philadelphia Eagles
On a six-game losing streak, without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts for the rest of the season, the Philadelphia Eagles could continue trading roster assets after dealing two-time Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens to the Baltimore Ravens.
The Athletic's Zach Berman believes the Eagles could move three-time Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson before the deadline.
"Landon Dickerson is the player with term on his contract that I’d watch closely," Berman wrote.
The Raiders should aggressively pursue Dickerson because of his quality play and appealing contract situation. He has two more non-guaranteed years left on his deal. At 28, the sixth-year pro could be an immediate upgrade over Spencer Burford and a long-term starter at left guard.
That said, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman may not be looking to move a key piece of the team's offensive line, though his decision to trade Jurgens suggests he could further shake up that position group.
Trade: DT Moro Ojomo, Philadelphia Eagles
This past offseason, the Eagles signed Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter to extensions. So, they're unlikely to sign a third defensive tackle to a new deal.
After recording 38 tackles (six for loss), 21 pressures and six sacks last season, Moro Ojomo generated buzz as a potential contract extension candidate, but that may not materialize on a 2-6 team.
With much invested in the defensive line, Philadelphia may be willing to trade Ojomo for draft capital and use it to rebuild weaker areas of its roster. The 25-year-old could be a building block for a team that needs a three-down playmaker in the middle.
There's also a connection between the Raiders' and Eagles' front offices that may factor into a potential trade that involves Ojomo.
In 2025, Las Vegas hired Brandon Hunt to be its vice president of player personnel. He was Philadelphia's director of scouting when the Eagles selected Ojomo in the seventh round of the 2023 draft. Hunt could push to reunite with one of his late-round draft gems.
