    John Clayton reported that the Pats were offering a 2nd or 3rd for Burgess a few days ago. If its a second then the Raiders should definitely pull the trigger. A third is a little more iffy, I'd do a 3rd + a 4th/5th/6th rounder though. Burgess is gonezo after this season though and he doesn't even want to be here by all accounts. Moving him makes our D-Line that much crappier but its horrible either way and we might as well cash in on his value before he walks. Our run D might actually get better with him gone though since he was always getting blasted on run plays.

    I really doubt Al would shy away from making another deal with the Pats either. He just doesn't give a shit about what people have to say. Burgess would probably do really well with the Pats but if we're getting a second you gotta take it.
