Oakland Raiders: 3 players to target ahead of the trade deadline

The Oakland Raiders are expected to make at least one trade before the deadline arrives, per reports. Which players could the team be targeting?

The Oakland Raiders sit at 3-3 through seven weeks right in the thick of things in a wide-open AFC postseason race. And even following last week’s disappointing loss to the Green Bay Packers, there is still plenty of talk about a playoff push.
