Last year, they were inexperienced, had the "dropsies," and were injured.
However, Chaz Schilens and Louis Murphy showed signs of life, and Darrius Heyward-Bey has reportedly upped his game this off-season.
Still, this group is still a concern. The Raiders could use a productive veteran to be the number one or two wide receiver while "DHB" and Louis Murphy develop.
In Dallas, the Cowboys have their shiny new toy in Dez Bryant, and Roy Williams is buried behind him and Miles Austin.
So, the thought struck me: What about a trade for Williams?
At 28, he is still in his prime.
He's put up some awesome numbers:
In the 2007-2008 season, he hauled in 63 receptions for 833 yards and five touchdowns.
A year before that, he caught 82 balls for 1,310 yards and seven touchdowns.
Williams has struggled in a Cowboys uniform due to no connection between him and quarterback Tony Romo.
A change of scenery would do him very good.
However, there are a couple of cons to this trade:
1. His six-year, 54-million dollar contract
2. Burying the young potential under the depth chart.
The pros are obvious: A legitimate offense and a bigger possibility of making the Playoffs.
Roy wouldn't garner much in a trade, maybe a third-round selection, considering Jerry Jones and Al Davis are huge friends.
Also, I have a feeling we are going to see a lot of four-receiver sets this season. That would be killer with DHB, Murphy, Schilens and Williams.
Don't get me wrong, Raider Nation; I doubt this trade will even happen, but tell me what you think! Would you like the trade? Hate it? Thanks.
