I wouldn't make the trade with the Raiders just on general principle. But I would make it with the other teams.
This team is going to need some major work and by the time it's anywhere near ready LJ will be a FA and signing with an east coast team. Trading him now will give us draft picks to work with and eliminate the franchise tag/poutfest I see looming with LJ.
In no particular order over the next few years we're going to need: DT, CB, LB, OL, WR, QB. If we can get the OL first then Bennett/Holmes/draftee will do fine. LJ draft picks would give us the bullets to get the OL.
