This THE wildest pieces of crap I have read:

According to NFL expert Tony Pauline, the Las Vegas Raiders have “genuine interest” in Fields and are expected to explore a trade for him.

The Raiders are expected to move on from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo this offseason, and Pauline notes new general manager Tom Telesco is interested in landing a “big name” at quarterback.

Las Vegas isn’t in a position to draft one of the top quarterback prospects at 13th overall, but Fields, 24, is a young, exciting player they could build around. There are already pieces in place with wide receivers Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers.

The Raiders recently hired Luke Getsy as their new offensive coordinator, which means it would be a reunion for Fields and Getsy, who spent two years together in Chicago. It would also mean a smooth transition for Fields, who has two years of experience in Getsy’s offense.
