NFL Media on Why Raiders Are Best Fit For Aaron Rodgers

The Las Vegas Raiders would be a great home for future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The Aaron Rodgers speculation this offseason heats up increasingly with each passing day.

Many around the world of football believe Las Vegas would be the most fitting destination for the four-time MVP. Others believe a young, up-and-coming New York Jets team would complement the future Hall of Famer the best.

Sports media personality Colin Cowherd gave five reasons why Sin City would be the best fit for Rodgers on Wednesday's edition of "The Herd with Colin Cowherd."

"Think about Aaron Rodgers to the Raiders for a second," Cowherd said. "Aaron, let's start with this, has never missed Davante Adams more. He'd get him back. Secondly, Green Bay would love to send him to the Raiders; I'm told, because it's a tough division. C, or three, the Raiders' and the Packers' front offices have been doing deals the last couple of years. They almost pulled off a Darren Waller deal, and they did a Davante Adams deal. These front offices have worked together before. 

"Four, the Raiders have the third-most cap space in the league because Derek Carr is leaving. They inherit Aaron, they've got cap space. The Raiders are also excellent offensively. They have a top-10 left tackle, the best receiver, maybe the best slot receiver in Hunter Renfrow, a top-three tight end. The offensive line, believe it or not, was just a little behind Green Bay in PPF rankings. Top 10. The Jets don't check those boxes."
