Raiders Named Trade Fit for $60 Million 2-Time All-Pro
One position the Las Vegas Raiders didn’t do much to try and upgrade this offseason is right tackle.
They lost Jermaine Eluemunor in free agency to the New York Giants and it appears that Thayer Munford has the best chance of earning the starting spot.
He was Pro Football Focus‘ 25th-highest graded offensive tackle last season so he’s shown promising signs.
However, he wasn’t able to keep the starting job last season and the Raiders may not be completely confident that he’ll be an effective starter.
If that’s the case, Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report believes that Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jack Conklin could be a trade fit.
“The Raiders could have interest in Conklin, depending on how they view 2022 seventh-round pick Thayer Munford Jr. internally,” Knox wrote in a July 18 column. “Munford allowed four sacks across 521 snaps last season, according to Pro Football Focus. Conklin has allowed four sacks since the start of the 2021 season, per PFF.”
