Is Tom Brady's Influence Pushing Shannon Sharpe to Advocate for a Radical Overhaul of the Raiders Amid Calls for Tanking the Season?

All that was about to remain was for Tom Brady to vocally confirm that he was not retiring, and "the football world" would have its everyday gossip over with, at least until the divorce public news broke out concerning his separation from Gisele Bundchen in 2022, by when he famously declared, "I've never quit on anything in my life." Even then, his eventual choice seemed apt at the time.On the latest episode of “Nightcap”, Shannon Sharpe and Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson went at it talking about the NFL. Sharpe dropped a fascinating idea: he believes that the Raiders need to draft Shedeur Sanders from college football. He said he has the draft pick of the Lions and is willing to trade up because he said, "For a second, I would trade the first, because I know where I'm going to be picking; it's gonna be way down.". This discussion was established in the backdrop of whether or not the Raiders should drop the season and start anew. Johnson inquired to Sharpe if this was what he meant by saying they'd have to "tank" the season and thus rebuilt. Sharpe said it was true and brought out that a new season, accompanied by drafting Shedeur Sanders, would improve the team with a twin boom.Also Read - How NFL Players InvestHe loved the idea as presented by Sharpe. It had a chance of being worked out. He brought up an issue about Maxx Crosby, who is part of the circulating rumors of being traded. Johnson also brought up that Crosby could go to the Lions and strengthen their defense dramatically. Sharpe retorts that it could get him a second-round pick for Crosby, but Johnson maintains that Crosby is worth a first-round pick.To make his point clearer, Sharpe was bold enough to claim that he would trade for the second-round pick because it was a late pick. This will consequently bring Crosby to the Lions to replace Aidan Hutchinson whom they lost, and this will also give the Raiders a chance to draft Shedeur Sanders so that they can break their long-standing curse of not having a good quarterback.Could the Raiders draft Shedeur Sanders? Possibly, as the quarterback apparently did meet with Raiders owner Mark Davis on 4 October. What sounds like a more informal meeting happened during the WNBA semifinals rather than any official draft meeting, but it appears to add another layer to this unfolding narrative.Also Read - Record Breaking Viewership of NFL
