Raiders Could Get a Call from an Old Friend in Baltimore

Warren Mitchell suggests the Baltimore Ravens could target Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins following a thumb injury to Lamar Jackson that requires surgery. Ravens head coach Jesse Minter did not rule out a season-ending outcome for Jackson. With Cousins throwing 19 touchdown passes through eight weeks, Mitchell argues Baltimore could view the 38-year-old veteran as a viable trade option before the November 10 deadline.

However, Mitchell argues that the Raiders should demand a higher price from Baltimore due to lingering frustration over a rescinded March trade agreement for Maxx Crosby. The writer contends Las Vegas should require Baltimore to surrender a draft pick at least one round higher than other suitors, or decline trade talks entirely with Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta.
