It’s a fire sale in Oakland.
Just two years after going 12-4 and entering the 2017 season as favorites by most to reach the Super Bowl, the Raiders appear to be in full rebuild mode.
According to Jay Glaser, the Raiders are actively trying to trade former first round picks WR Amari Cooper and safety Karl Joseph.

The move follows the team’s decision to trade star pass rusher Khalil Mack to the Bears before the season for picks.
Cooper and Joseph will presumably bring in even more picks that can in hopes bring a batch of talented players ready for the 2020 season when the Raiders move to Las Vegas.
