Will Transferring Away From Trent Brown Have Ramifications For Raiders?

Many fans agreed with the Las Vegas Raiders’ decision to part ways with Right Tackle Trent Brown. He’s been called anything from “lazy” to “injury prone”, but will there be serious consequences if he walks away from him?

Brown’s stay with the Raiders was at least colorful. It seemed like there were constant drama and problems around the duel, and not for the best either. Much of it, however, was beyond his control, such as the near medical disaster when an IV accident caused air to enter his bloodstream. Even so, Brown’s advancement has the potential to come back and bite the Raiders in the rear.

The Raiders have completely revamped their offensive line this offseason, hoping to get faster and more athletic. This could end up restoring the team’s running game, which began to slide in 2020. Regardless of how you hold the trains, this unit has potential, but replacing Brown ends up on the shoulders of a rookie, Alex Leatherwood. In essence, the Raiders designed Browns replacements rather than spending on the vacant agency position. This is risky to say the least, so much so that some are calling it the worst move to organize this off-season.

The Raiders will keep their fingers crossed and hope …

The Athletic recently surveyed the NFL and tallied the worst off-season decisions of all 32 teams. Lo and behold, the raiders who made the real tackle were the intended move for Las Vegas. Vic Tafur shared his thoughts on the move, it is essentially a gamble for the Raiders.

Given how motivated Brown looked this off-season, trading doesn’t seem to have made much sense, Tafur pointed out.

“You should have kept him and paid him the $ 14 million he was due this season because Brown, 28, had already lost a ton this spring and is motivated for another big payday.”

Yeah, the man is playing for money so what, the NFL is a business. Fans saying they didn’t want Brown because he didn’t want to be a Raider is ridiculous in retrospect. If Brown was ready to dominate again in search of another big deal, why wouldn’t you milk that?

Leatherwood is now in a difficult position as a newcomer. He’ll have big footsteps to fill because let’s face it, when Brown was on the field he was one of the best.

Fair or not, the Alabama product is judged from the start, luckily it has Tom Cable running it. As for Brown, he’s likely to have a stellar season under Bill Belichick as the Raiders put their hopes in a rookie. Either the team will look like a genius or it could have dire consequences this season.
