To OAK, per Ian Rapp.
Source: #Packers traded WR/Returner Trevor Davis to the #Raiders. Davis is a 4.3 speed WR and one of the League’s top punt & kick returners who should have an immediate opportunity to compete at WR.

Ok....so what did we get?
Wonder if this means Darrius Shepherd is next man up on the punt return - Tremon Smith was primarily a kick returner for the #Chiefs https://t.co/R5vmHWDsbh

YES!!! Not trying to be an A-hole, but his speed didn't make up for poor decision making. Not a smart fellow.
I love the proactive approach of moving on before he makes a mistake that costs us a game.
And before he gets hurt. Definitely good timing.
Wasn't as much concerned about the cerebral stuff, much more about inability to stay healthy. Also says a lot about what they think about Sheppard and the new kid they picked up from the Chiefs.

It's coming off a game where he committed a 15 yard penalty by signaling fair catch and then blocking, didn't signal a fair catch and got rocked, fielded a ball with tons of space in front of him but couldn't pull the trigger on a line and fell down twice.
Point being, those other things come into play, but I believe the major factor is football IQ.
After that atrocious work returning punts last weekend, it was time.
Reportedly got a sixth round pick for him.
Looks like Raiders traded a sixth-round pick to acquire Trevor Davis from the Packers.

We’ll never forget you Trayvon.
Surprised it wasn't conditional.

That's right he did do that. Fair points.
He also yelled bomb at an airport and got arrested. Forgot about that as well.
He's had 3 plus years and continues to be a liability. No one can claim he wasn't given opportunities. I'm glad they pulled the trigger after the week 2 performance.
Gute not fucking around.
Seems quite a few players around the league got throttled after their week 2 performances.
JSO had a good article about Gute and his churning of the roster. I'd love to see a move, as was mentioned in the article, to get another offensive weapon. Likely wouldn't happen til mid-season.
Nice, good riddens.
Top kick returners? Only because the domfense gave him so many opportunities to return kick offs.
Wouldn't mind kicking tires on Bryant
considering i didn't think he was even going to make the team, another win here.
The Raiders got fleeced.
He’s on the roster to be a returner, he doesn’t seem to be doing anything as a returner thus far. It’s not that he’s bad at all, but the roster needs to be improving all the time. If they think they have a better returner on the roster then this was a good move. No hard feelings toward Davis, not a bad guy, he just couldn’t get it done.
Rumored to be on the trade block prior to cutdown. Could be dynamic as a returner, but as the last game shows he remained a liability due to his poor decisions.
17 of Ted Thompson’s last 25 draft picks are no longer on the #Packers’ roster.

“One of the top returners in the league” really Ian Rappaport? Do you watch any Packers games?
Davis is a wannabee football player. He does the absolute minimum to keep a roster spot and that’s assuming he’s healthy. He’s basically a step up from Josh Jones so eff them both and good riddens.

A package of twinkies and a bottle of sprite
Wasn't it Fanta Orange?

Sure, but the fact that some of those cut are on other rosters mean they were productive draft picks, right??
Thanks Ted.

Shocking. That hasn't happened in a while.
Now they can trade a 6th for AJ Green.
Good move. Only negative is giving Raiders intel on Packers O b4 we play them in week 7. But it will be different O by then.
Shepherd must be healthy.
Trevor Davis has very little "Intel" on the Packer O. Dude could barely run an out & up. It ain't like they just got Geronimo
Just another reason not to believe TC/Preseason fluff.
Ty Summers is a god damn superstar.

My thoughts exactly. Doesn't take much to be a 'top returner' in Rappaport's view.

One of the top kick returners? Maybe I have missed something but all I think of him is that he fair catch punts and catch kickoffs in the endzone and not much else.
I freaking love the job Gute is doing with this roster. He doesn't stand pat and if you aren't contributing? We will find someone who will.

J'Mon Moore is currently the only 4th round pick from his class NOT on an NFL roster.
THX Gute.

What happened to Trophies? Man, he's gotta be on cloud nine right now. Bought the SB tickets already.

Every year.
We drafted Davis with a 5th and got 2 years of service. Then we trade him for a 6th.
Golf clap for Gute.
