Texans Trade for Raiders CB Gareon Conley

[Arky]

The skinny on Conley:

Meanwhile, Conley arrived in Oakland under a dark cloud. Seen as a potential Top 10 pick out of Ohio State, Conley fell to the Raiders at No. 24 overall after he was accused of sexual assault the week of that draft. Three months later, though, a grand jury declined to charge him following a police investigation.

Cleared, Conley had a tough time getting on the field as a rookie. A shin injury he later said was a broken tibia limited him to just two games. Healthy in 2018, he tied for the team lead with three interceptions in 15 games.

Yet trading Conley really has little to do with what Conley did (he had one pick and two passes defensed in six games this season; four INTs, 18 passes defensed and 67 tackles in 23 career games), or didn't do (his not sticking his head in on a few tackles in Sunday's 42-24 loss at the Green Bay Packers had to be a bad look on film). Plus, the Raiders do not have to deal with Conley's upcoming fifth-year contract option.
