Raiders Could Trade Powers-Johnson to Seahawks
15 Jul
Summary
- Jackson Powers-Johnson struggled for starter snaps at guard.
- Seahawks may trade for Powers-Johnson, potentially at center.
- Raiders' offensive line ranked worst in the NFL last season.
Jackson Powers-Johnson, a former second-round draft selection for the Las Vegas Raiders, might be nearing a departure. After a challenging season where he was shifted from center to guard and battled for a starting role, his future with the team appears uncertain. A trade proposal suggests he could be sent to the Seattle Seahawks for a mid-round draft pick in 2027.
This potential move to Seattle could offer Powers-Johnson a fresh start, possibly allowing him to play center, his preferred position, which is currently occupied by Tyler Linderbaum on the Raiders. Linderbaum, who received a record-breaking contract, is considered the eighth-best interior offensive lineman in the league. Despite Powers-Johnson's injury history, including concussions and a season-ending ankle injury last season, his past performance indicates he can be an impactful player when healthy, especially given the Raiders' overall struggles on the offensive line.
