Well Derek Carr Jersey White , that was quick. After only two games played since returning from injured reserve, the Raiders placed linebacker Marquel Lee back on the IR, promoting Lester Cotton Sr. from the practice squad in a corresponding move.Lee played in the first three games of the season before heading to IR. He came back for Week 14 and 15, expected to add some life to the Raiders linebacker corps. He accrued eleven tackles and three starts across his five games played. He had been battling with a toe injury since being added off IR, and it apparently has ended his season.With Lee heading to IR, the Raiders’ signing of Ukeme Eligwe makes a little bit more sense. Eligwe was signed after OT Trent Brown headed to IR, leaving the team short on offensive linemen.Cotton will fill that offensive line role and has positional flexion to play both guard spots. As an undrafted rookie free agent out of Alabama, Cotton latched onto the Raiders practice squad this offseason. He started 18 games at right guard and 10 games at left guard during his Alabama career, and at 6-foot-4, 335 pounds, he fits right into the Raiders’ oversized offensive front.With Cotton moved up to the 53-man roster, the Raiders have a practice squad spot open. Expect them to canvas the outskirts of the league to find a player who can possibly help out next year. The last time Antonio Brown posted a behind-the-scenes recording, it was from the Steelers’ locker room and Mike Tomlin was not amused. Now Brown had done it again, and given fans an interesting look into his conversations with agent Drew Rosenhaus before he was traded to the Raiders.The audio, which Brown provided to the Boomin Experience podcast, reveals that Rosenhaus believed the Raiders’ interest was declining before the trade actually happened.“Oakland, I think Bo Jackson Jersey , is fading. I kind of get the sense that they’re fading a little bit,” Rosenhaus told Brown.Rosenhaus thought instead that the Eagles or Patriots might be the teams to acquire Brown. The audio also confirms that Brown had no interest in playing in Buffalo, despite reports that the Bills and Steelers came close on a trade.“When the Bills called me today they said, ‘If we make the trade, what are you guys looking for?’ I wouldn’t even give them a number because I know you don’t want to go there,” Rosenhaus told Brown.Rosenhaus said there were six teams showing interest in a trade, and that he was pushing the Steelers to trade Brown to a good team with a good quarterback.“The teams that want you right now are New England, Philadelphia, Tennessee, Washington and Buffalo, with Oakland still in the picture,” Rosenhaus said.he trade compensation to the Steelers was going to be higher than it was, as they discussed the possibility of teams trading two first-round picks to the Steelers for Brown. In the end, the Raiders gave up only a third-round pick and a fifth-round pick.Rosenhaus said he put Steelers G.M. Kevin Colbert in touch with Bill Belichick but thought the Steelers might be hesitant to trade him to the Patriots. Rosenhaus also said the Steelers had shown an eagerness to get a deal done.“The Steelers have been good communicators with me. We’ve talked a couple times every day,” Rosenhaus said.The audio is a fascinating look at how Brown and Rosenhaus went through the process of orchestrating the trade, and Brown’s lucrative contract extension.
