LIVE UPDATES: Raiders exploring options as NFL trade deadline nears

The NFL trade deadline is 1 p.m. Tuesday and the Las Vegas Raiders could be involved.

Maxx Crosby said after Sunday’s loss he wants to remain with the organization, but the defensive end may attract interest from a contender. Same with quarterback Kirk Cousins as Fernando Mendoza waits patiently to take over the starting role. Jackson Powers-Johnson, a former second-round pick who has fallen on the depth chart, is another player who might be moved.

The Raiders aren’t the only AFC West team that could be busy. The 0-8 Chargers are out of contention, while the Broncos and Chiefs might look to add for the stretch run.

Raiders exploring trade options

Raiders coach Klint Kubiak hasn’t addressed the NFL’s trade deadline with his team, but conversations about prospective transactions remain ongoing at the executive level.

“We’re talking all the time,” he said Monday at Intermountain Health Performance Center in Henderson. “That hasn’t changed. As the deadline approaches, things get more urgent and we’ll continue to talk.”

With the trade deadline set for 1 p.m. Tuesday and Las Vegas sporting a 4-5 record, Kubiak didn’t offer any insight to what it might or might not do.

Don’t expect splashy move from Raiders

The Raiders have mostly indicated a desire to stand pat at the trade deadline as they wrestle with the dichotomy of being nominally in the playoff picture while having a clear organizational blueprint for the future.

But coach Klint Kubiak did not close the door Monday on the team making deals ahead of Tuesday’s 1 p.m. deadline.

But what exactly could that mean for the Raiders?

They are unlikely to be buyers, at least on any big-ticket players.

It wouldn’t make sense to give up draft capital for a splashy move that could help right away at the expense of the future, unless there was a young player available who was signed long term.

But those players don’t tend to hit the trade market, especially in the middle of the season.
