Shefter: AJ Green will miss some games

[BoomerFan]

I would've sent a 4th round pick to the Raiders and gotten Lafell back. I'd tell him that if he wants to be released we can do so after Green is back and he can go be a Raider again. Otherwise he could stay the rest of the season with us and I'd cut Core to make roster room.

Obviously this would be a windfall for the Raiders. Their season is over and they get a free pick for a player they didn't even draft. We get a legit starting WR to play opposite of Tyler Boyd. I'm not saying it would guarantee any wins but it would improve the odds in a bad situation. I'm already looking past New Orleans whom I think will beat us and on to the away game at Baltimore. Win that and we're very likely to get a wildcard spot (which will be a game against Houston or Pittsburgh...hurray?) assuming we beat the teams on the rest of our schedule that we are supposed to beat (Browns, Browns, Raiders, Broncos).
