The Raiders have wide receiver Amari Cooper on the trade block and they are seeking more for him than you might expect. The Raiders are seeking a first-round selection in exchange for the former No. 4 overall pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (video link) hears. 
Cooper’s talent is undeniable, but his performance has been inconsistent for the past two seasons and some have questioned his work ethic. Cooper earned back-to-back Pro Bowl nods in his first two NFL seasons, but it’s hard to see another club sacrificing a first-round pick for him at this point. If the Raiders want to move Cooper between now and the Oct. 30 deadline, the Raiders will have to slash their asking price.
Through six games this season, Cooper has 22 grabs for 280 yards and one touchdown. That comes after Cooper had just 48 catches for 680 yards last year, though he also had a career-high seven TDs.
Cooper isn’t the only Raider on the block. The Raiders are also willing to trade 2016 first-round pick Karl Joseph and veteran Derrick Johnson and they could even explore trading quarterback Derek Carr. Trading Carr and/or Cooper would be incredibly aggressive, but nothing can be ruled out in Oakland after the club shipped Khalil Mack to the Bears just prior to the season opener.
(MNF) Jon Gruden: THAT sure is a GREAT Team right there. There have A BRIGHT future, and it’s a GREAT time to be part of RAIDER NATION!
(HC) Jon Gruden: It would be a shame if someone were to… .destroy. it
Bahhhhaaaahaaaa. First rounder? Good luck.
I think Gruden wants to be seen as a genius, wants to be someone that gets all the credit for the Raiders successes.
I think he is overestimating his ability to gauge talent.
No one wants Carr with that contract. Coop has some value for a second or third rounder.
He’s going for the long shot and they haven’t even moved to Vegas yet.
After getting fleeced by the Bears for Mack every GM in football should be lining up for a opportunity to screw them again. Mack and what’s going to be a high 2nd for 2 first from Bears probably between 20-32 is a joke. Gruden is on a path to self destruction and taking the Raiders with him down the toilet
Yes, but trading Mack gave the Raiders a top 5 1st rounder of their own…trading more valuable assets will get that to a top 3 easily. Gruden is trying to strip the team down to the foundation and rebuild. That would explain why he loaded up on aging veterans that will be gone in a year or two, and trying to trade anyone worth a damn.
The Raiders didn’t acquire a top 5 pick—at least it doesn’t look that way now. The Bears have been decent this year with playoff aspirations so the pick would be in the bottom half of the first round. And the additional first rounder the next year could be even later in the round and the Raiders second back can be seen as moving up 10 spots or so since they are so bad this year.
What he is saying that they are so bad after trading mack that their own pick will be top 5 or maybe even top 3 not that they received a top 5 from the bears.
As a Chiefs fan and lifelong Raider hater i cant fathom why this guys being hung out to dry after 6 games. They have been bad a long time. He wants his own picked players and staff. Can we give the guy a couple years to figure it out. Or even 10 years.
Oh I’m sure your all in on giving him ten more years, that’s so nice of you.
Cooper to the Packers for a 3rd & 5th
rounder in 19, with GB having 2 1st rounds it just makes sense. Draft capital, pair cooper with Adams & Rodgers and Cobb is a FA next year makes sense.
32nd pick? Pats?
