The Oakland Raiders are expected to be active at the trade deadline this season, but which players could they be looking to part ways with this week?

The Oakland Raiders find themselves at a crossroads following a disappointing Week 8 loss to the Houston Texans. The Raiders blew an eight-point fourth-quarter lead and watched Deshaun Watson and the Texans rally back and come away with the victory.

The crucial conference loss dropped Oakland to 3-4 on the season and while a playoff berth is still very possible, it doesn’t seem nearly as likely as it did a couple of weeks ago.

Rumors swirled early last week when the Raiders shipped cornerback Gareon Conley to Houston that the team would be looking to make an addition of two at the trade deadline. But now that plan doesn’t seem so certain.

The Raiders could very well look to trade away a few of their players if they don’t feel the need to sacrifice draft capital for a potential playoff push. And even if they still want to make a run, there are still a few players who could find themselves shipped away at the deadline regardless.

Here are three Raiders players who could be playing for different teams come Wednesday.
