Raiders may have traded for Trent Brown last offseason had they known he was available, ‘betting on his upside’ now

Neither Raiders head coach Jon Gruden nor general manager Mike Mayock are saying for certain which side of the offensive newly signed tackle Trent Brown will be playing. Though if you listen, it sure sounds a lot like they have him pegged at right tackle. That’s where he was playing with the 49ers before they traded him to the Patriots and he sure would have been a welcome addition last season.

“I loved Trent Brown when he was a 49er, personally,” Gruden said at the league meeting this week. “I did not know he was on the trade market, Trent didn’t even know he was on the trade market, and I think he went to New England basically for the equivalent of a 4th round pick.
