The Las Vegas Raiders are eager to turn things around in the desert by surrounding themselves with individuals who understand the importance of cultivating a winning culture. Last season, they welcomed the winningest player in NFL history, former quarterback Tom Brady, into the franchise’s ownership group, who played a significant role in bringing legendary coach Pete Carroll on board as the Raiders’ new head coach. However, reports indicate that Brady and Carroll may not see all the current players on the roster as suitable fits for their vision.
According to Vegas Nation’s Vincent Bonsignore, “The (Raiders) are working to trade CB Jack Jones. But if they can’t work out a trade, Jones will be released on Monday,” reported.
Fans have been vocal on social media about this news. One enthusiastic fan tweeted, “Spytek listened – everyone gone was good but one more needed to go, now find us a good one and a receiver,” expressing satisfaction with the Raiders’ offseason moves. Conversely, another fan questioned the timing, saying, “Why announce this now and not after the draft? Not only that, but looking for a trade and if not, may be released Monday?? Who’s gonna trade when they know he could be cut? 2024 the whole team looked like crap and Jones looked nothing of what he did in 2023. Not feeling this.” On the other hand, one fan suggested this could be a shrewd move, stating, “This might be one of their best moves of the offseason. Another team can get Jack for a 6th without having to compete with another team to sign him. The Raiders can fill the open spot through the draft. We have JB and DR already on the roster ready to take on the starting duties.”
It will be intriguing to watch what further plans Brady and Carroll have in store.
