NO WAY, the point of even trying to trade for vea is to pair him up with maxx giving us pressure up the middle with maxx pressure on the outside

I wouldn’t even consider it unless they offered Vita plus a worthwhile draft pick at minimum.
Making the edge weaker by adding value in the middle makes no sense.

Maxx makes life hell trying to run any play. He's the best run defending edge player in the entire league. Plus the pass rush, the batted passes etc. He's one of the most respected players in the league in general. Id love Vita Vea as a Raider but I wouldn't trade Maxx to get him

Yup...why make a trade that strengthens you at one defensive position while it weakens you in another?Goodtimes333 wrote: Sat Aug 08, 2026 9:33 am Maxx makes life hell trying to run any play.

Most of the time we would have made better decisions than the team did.
This is not one of those times.

Yep, this trade proposal is stupid on a level rarely seen. But sometimes we get it done better than the team would have done. As much as I wanted to keep Maxx, the trade to Baltimore was about as good as it gets so I was on board. I think Baltimore should have been sanctioned for their handling of backing out of that deal.Opoponax50 wrote: Sat Aug 08, 2026 10:55 am Most of the time we would have made better decisions than the team did.

Even if you hate Maxx, you still have an obligation to do a trade that best benefits the team.

That means he's worth a 1 and a 2 and 35 mil a year for a 4+ years.
I remember the days of getting Vea for a 4th and nice glance, plus 25 mil a year for 2-3 years.

The only way it would make sense is if there is additional draft compensation and they believe Keyron or Malcolm are on the verge of a breakout. Then you would be filling a hole that is very difficult to fill, while not creating a new one and getting additional picks in the process.

As it looks right now, RT is far more needy than DT.
Vea is a fa after this season so why spend draft capital.
But hey, if you can pull off both by all means.
Part of me is afraid win now. Its like lets get things rolling and Identity where the real help is needed before pulling the trigger.
Reports are Tonka is having a hell of a camp. Or is he the camp bull shit this year. Idk.
