I just finished up a staff meeting with my most trusted sources from around the country, and 2 more teams could be lurking and worth keeping an eye on. The NE Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens. Mac Jones could be in play in a trade involving DC. The connection with Mac and McDaniels is obvious. Ziegler and Belicheck have done business before. Mac has said to have rubbed many the wrong way in NE, and he has a hair accross his ass for being booed in NE with the home crowd in favor of Baily Zappe.
Mac last year had come off the field yelling and screaming at Judge and Patricia on multiple occasions last year. Here's one example.

If Mac were to pull this crap with new OC Bill O'Brien, O'Brien would have no problem putting Mac in his place, just like O'Brien did with snot nosed, spoiled, entitled QB Tom Brady back in 2011!!!!

Mac and O'Brien could be a diaster waiting to happen, and Belichick may want to avoid this all together, and there are rumors the Pats tried to trade for Carr in the past.
Reports have surfaced that Belichick has not made a full committment to Mac Jones moving forward as well.

In terms of the Ravens, when Lamar Jackson was hurt in week 13, it was said he expected to play in week 14 and at the very worst case scenario, week 15. Jackson missed the rest of the season, including the playoffs. Many are speculating Jackson was healthy enough to play, but without an extension, he did what many top prospects do in college, and skipped the last game or two including the teams bowl games.
The problem is, this isn't college. Jackson was paid to play this season, and chose not to play the full year, when he was capable of doing so. In fact, Jackson chose to not to even travel with the team for their playoff game at Cincy. Jackson should have been there for support and to help Huntley and the other QB's. He chose not to, and this didn't sit well with many in the organization.
My sources tell me, a trade could involve DC and Jackson, and there is also a scenerio where 2 sperate trades are consumated, with DC and Jackson.
Obviously the main sticking point is Jackson wants Watson type money. As in 230 million guaranteed. Perhaps with the Raiders playing in a tax free state, that number could drop a bit.
My sources tell me preliminary conversations have indeed taken place with Ziegler and DeCosta and with Belichick too.
I again say DC is the best option for the Raiders, and I am again completely against any type of move. But I don't make the decisions, I only report what I am hearing from my most trusted sources.
The plot thinkens.
