The Las Vegas Raiders have mostly indicated a desire to stand pat at the trade deadline as they wrestle with the dichotomy of being nominally in the playoff picture while having a clear organizational blueprint for the future.

But coach Klint Kubiak did not close the door Monday on the team making deals ahead of Tuesday’s 1 p.m. deadline.

“We’re talking all the time,” he said. “That hasn’t changed. As the deadline approaches, things get more urgent, and we’ll continue to talk.”

But what exactly could that mean for the Raiders?

They are unlikely to be buyers, at least on any big-ticket players.

Most of the moves the organization has made since the start of the offseason have been with an eye on 2027 and beyond as they look to take advantage of the competitive window top pick Fernando Mendoza will open on his rookie deal when he inevitably takes over as the starting quarterback.

It wouldn’t make sense to give up draft capital for a splashy move that could help right away at the expense of the future, unless there was a young player available who was signed long-term.

But those players don’t tend to hit the trade market, especially in the middle of the season.

The most likely scenario is that they choose to stand pat and see if the roster as currently constructed can make a playoff run ahead of schedule.

Kubiak has said he likes the roster and even though it’s not good enough to shove all-in by trading away future picks, it would be fair to simply let this group see if it can make something happen down the stretch as the schedule eases.

The possibility that would make the most sense, considering how the Raiders have operated since pairing Kubiak with general manager John Spytek, would be to trade away players of value who may not fully fit the organization’s timeline.

It’s likely they are at least taking calls at this point and at least considering options.

Even if the Raiders thought they had potentially salvaged the season with a road win over the New York Jets last week, an ugly 38-17 loss on Sunday showed how far the Raiders have to go in their rebuild.

Extra draft picks would help.

So here’s a look at some players who the Raiders could consider moving and what their value could be on the market:

Maxx Crosby — The Raiders already traded him once this year.

Crosby was dealt to the Baltimore Ravens for two first-round draft picks, but they voided the agreement days later over concerns about his physical.

To be fair, circumstances have changed. Crosby says he no longer wants to go anywhere and would like to be a part of the Raiders turning things around.

But he is still 29 and may no longer be playing at the same level when it’s time for the Raiders to truly compete.

The problem is whether the Raiders would accept less now for Crosby and potentially appear weak. While he has looked healthy, the production and impact haven’t quite been there this season.

Pass rushers have already gone for a premium this cycle, so it’s possible the Raiders could land a massive haul. If they do, they should consider trading Crosby.

But they don’t have to do it and won’t force the issue.

Two firsts, or even a first and a second, could potentially pique the interest of Spytek and the Raiders even if they are intent on keeping him.

Kirk Cousins — This a very complicated decision.

Cousins has kept the Raiders afloat this season and is probably their only hope for staying relevant. But the way his contract is written, he is highly unlikely to be with the team next year barring a restructuring and it would actually be financially beneficial should another team take him on.

Kubiak has said he is the quarterback as long as the Raiders are “in the hunt.” Is it possible Sunday’s game was a strong enough message that the Raiders are no longer a legitimate wild-card contender?

If the Raiders have decided to hand the franchise over to Mendoza at some point in the next two weeks, they would have to listen to offers for Cousins.

And a team like the Minnesota Vikings can’t waste their defense. If they were to get wild and offer at least a second-round pick, it’s a call the Raiders would have to at least take.

An even more scenario would be if the Seahawks were to make an offer ahead of their matchup with the Raiders this week.

Jackson Powers-Johnson — He is an incredibly talented player who seems to have fallen out of favor with yet another coaching staff.

The former second-round pick is no longer starting, and it was Caleb Rogers who got the call to replace an injured Trey Zuhn on Sunday.

Powers-Johnson still has a ton of potential. He may just need a change of scenery.

He’s certainly someone the Raiders could listen to offers on, especially if they could get a fifth-round pick. He may be more valuable than that as a depth piece on the line, though.

Jeremy Chinn — A veteran on the last year of his contract, Chinn could be a coveted piece for a contender should the Raiders choose to make him available.

He has been important for the Raiders, not only on the field but also as a mentor for the young secondary.

Their willingness to listen to offers could hinge on whether they plan to, or believe they will be able to, re-sign him.
