Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Dallas sent Ryan Switzer to the Raiders and received defensive lineman Jihad Ward in a straight player-for-player swap during the 2018 draft weekend. Neither acquisition became a major long-term piece for the new club, and neither side created a meaningful downstream asset advantage. The deal produced limited depth value on both sides, leaving the exchange essentially even.
Trade 2 of 2
The Raiders received Pittsburgh's 2019 fifth-round pick and converted that asset into A.J. McCarron in a separate trade days later. McCarron appeared in only two Raiders games and completed one of three passes. Because the acquired fifth-rounder was itself moved onward, Oakland's direct realized value from this exchange remained limited despite preserving short-term quarterback depth.
