When I suggested the same thing, over a month ago, others on this site said "no way." Now, according to this article, there are some who are considering the possibility. For what it's worth, here's my suggestion;
Ameer Abdullah, Josh Jacobs, Davante Adams, Robert Spillane, Demico Autry, Jacobi Meyers all did well for other teams, this year. These players were not the problem, Raiders "leadership" ( or more accurately the lack thereof) was. Tre Tucker's and Michael Mayer's "problems" ( lack of productivity ) are a direct result of the Raiders organization, most specifically, inconsistent offensive line play and inept quarterback play. If anyone doubts this then watch them, Tre Tucker and Michael Mayer, go to another team and be productive. The Raiders need, in addition to a competent offensive line, veteran quarterback depth, namely Malik Willis as the starter, Joshua Dobbs as the backup and a rookie, if that's Mendoza so be it, who won't be under pressure to start immediately. That's how you add competent depth at this position.
Kolton Miller, Zamir White, Dillon Laube, Stone Forsythe, Tyree Wilson, Kenny Pickett, Geno Smith and Adian O'Connell all need to be let go. Additionally, it wouldn't hurt to address the (not so) Special teams. The offensive line and Special Teams coaches could use a serious upgrade.
Surely, everyone agrees that this team has many needs and areas to address. This team is currently paying no less that four former head coaches and are in search of a fourth one, go figure. If this were a business. oh, it is a business, they would be guilty of mismanagement. But, back to fixing this team's problems.
Like him or not, Antonio Pierce knew how to motivate players. He should be considered as the defensive coordinator. Also, while I believe that Brady's insights about quarterback play are invaluable, he needs to focus his efforts in that department. Long ago, Al Davis hired a former offensive lineman as his head coach, John Madden. Perhaps Lincoln Kennedy should be added to the coaching staff. It's not like he doesn't know or understand offensive line play.
