Is JPJ on the move? Today, we dive deep into the mounting trade rumors surrounding second-year offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson. With a new coaching staff in the building and heavy investment in the O-line during free agency, we analyze if the Raiders are actually looking to move on from JPJ or if the outside noise is just that—noise. We’ll also break down former Raider great Lincoln Kennedy’s blunt take on the situation.
