3 players the Raiders should consider ‘selling’ at the trade deadline

3. CB Lamarcus Joyner

Much like Maliek Collins, Lamarcus Joyner is another free-agent signing that hasn’t worked out for the Raiders. Joyner has become the team’s full-time slot cornerback and has struggled mightily in his transition over from the Rams.

Luckily, the Raiders do have a future successor on the roster with fourth-round pick Amik Robertson. Both players have struggled so far, but Robertson is the far younger and cheaper option.

The Raiders could decide to get out of Joyner’s contract now and play the rookie in the slot full-time. If they were able to add any future draft pick at all for the veteran defensive back, that would be a massive win by Mike Mayock and company.
