Raiders Targeting Schaub? [YES]

[HPF Bob]

I think it could be a straight 1-for-1 Schaub for McGloin.

What the Texans get are cap room and a QB who knows O'Brien's system from Penn State. What the Raiders get is a playoff-ready veteran with WCO experience without having to woo him in free agency.

What this might do is allow O'Brien to draft Bortles but start McGloin until Bortles is ready. I presume Yates and Keenum get tossed to the wind in this scenario. But the Texans also pick up the cap space to fill some holes.

The Raiders are awash in cap room so they might even renegotiate with Schaub to put *more* of his contract on this year's cap so he costs less in future years. Oakland gets to keep their draft picks.

Hard to believe but there is a certain amount of sense to it. If the Raiders get Schaub, McGloin won't see much time anyway.
