News and notes to know heading into Week 7…
1. Lots of whispers about who the Oakland Raiders could move ahead of the Oct. 30 trade deadline. The two names generating the most buzz: WR Amari Cooper and S Karl Joseph. The problem is the team wants a first-round pick for the former, and a third-rounder for the latter. I do think there would be teams that would be willing to part with a second-rounder for Cooper, who’s been a good guy but not the best worker in the building the last couple years.
