However, the NFL Trade Deadline is quickly approaching (Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 1 p.m. PST), and that’s the biggest focus of this week’s mailbag. So, let’s get to it!Q: What players would be good options for the Raiders’ timeline to buy at the trade deadline?A: Understandably, I got a bunch of questions about Quenton Nelson, so I’ll dive into my thoughts on him in the question/answer below and focus on other players here, all of whom come from The Athletic’s big board. Shout out to Daniel Popper for putting that together!DT Jeffery Simmons, Tennessee TitansNormally, I wouldn’t be in favor of trading for someone who will turn 30 in the summer. But 2025 was Simmons’ best season, and he’s been playing well this year, so it’s not as if he’s showing signs of regressing. Also, he signed an extension in the offseason and would be under team control through 2030. The issue with Simmons to the Raiders is that he was arrested for violence against a woman, and Mark Davis typically draws the line there. However, the incident occurred when Simmons was still in high school and was over a decade ago, and he hasn’t been in any legal trouble since then. DT Moro Ojomo, Philadelphia EaglesOjomo is an impending free agent, so trading for him would also require a contract extension. The other end of that is that John Spytek could wait until the offseason and just sign Ojomo in free agency without having to give up a draft pick for him. So, it’s just a matter of how much it’s worth to get ahead of the 25-year-old’s market and add a player who would fill the defense’s biggest hole right now to help keep this season afloat? And of course, what the Eagles are willing to accept to part with Ojomo. If Ojomo isn’t traded, there’s a good chance he hits the open market since Philly recently paid defensive tackles Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis.WR Brian Thomas Jr., Jacksonville JaguarsI’ve been pounding this drum for a while. Obviously, Thomas’ production has been underwhelming since his near 1,300-yard performance as a rookie. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be talking about him as a trade candidate. But I get the feeling that’s a relationship issue with Liam Coen. It feels like they’ve never been on the same page and have been butting heads since Coen got the job last year. So, if it’s pennies on the dollar, trading for a 24-year-old who could solve the WR1 problem might be worth the risk. With the fifth-year option, the Raiders could get two-and-a-half seasons to see how Thomas performs in Klint Kubiak’s offense before giving him a big-money extension.G Landon Dickerson, Philadelphia EaglesBuyer beware with Dickerson because he’s had several significant injuries, dating back to his college days. The recent ones seem to have really impacted his play on the fiel
