Earlier this week, the Raiders made a move that was a bit of a surprise for some. They traded away former third round pick and starting linebacker, Sio Moore, to the Colts in exchange for a sixth round draft pick in 2016. Now, according to head coach Jack Del Rio, the Raiders simply got something for a player who was to be cut anyway.
"He wasn't going to make our team." Del Rio said of Moore. "We had depth there that we're really happy about. We brought in two free agent linebackers, they're both playing very well. We brought in two draft picks, they're both playing very well.
