Many Raiders fans would not approve of deal for Buffalo running back
There has been some rumors that the Buffalo Bills could end up trading standout running back James Cook before the draft.
The Bills and Cook are reportedly at odds because they are having trouble getting a contract done. Cook will likely remain with the Bills, but if things hit a head, a trade could be made.
If so, the Las Vegas Raiders have been speculated as a potential fit. The Raiders, of course, badly need a running back. We recently asked our community members if they would be in favor of the Raiders swinging a trade for Cook, likely for a third-round pick.
And the overwhelming answer was … pass. In a poll with almost 700 votes cast, 71 percent of the voters would pass on a Cooks trade, while 29 percent like the idea.
I get and agree with the majority of the voters.
This is a strong running back draft class and while Cook, who has averaged 4.9 yards per carry in his career and had 16 rushing touchdown last season, is explosive and is just 25, he’d be expensive.
The Raiders are probably better off just keeping their picks and drafting their own tailback.
