4 perfect landing spots for Matthew Judon if the Patriots trade him

Las Vegas Raiders

Matt Judon would be a great fit for the Raiders for similar reasons as the Lions: Maxx Crosby is a freakazoid on the line, and Judon would be an ideal candidate to run opposite him. The Patriots gamble on Judon's short-term success in this trade while trading him to an AFC opponent.

Up until now, this exercise has sent Judon over to the NFC. The Patriots might want to trade him to a team outside of the conference, but how many more top-level years does Judon actually have? This is likely the reason they're open to moving him in the first place.

The Raiders would be well-equipped to get after division foe Patrick Mahomes. Crosby always seems ready for the fight, but bringing a buddy like Judon along would make the exchange a bit more fair.

Speculating about Matt Judon’s future, four teams stand out as ideal contenders for his talents. Each team offers a unique opportunity to leverage his experience and skills. Whether Judon stays with the Patriots or finds a new team, his impact on the field will undoubtedly continue to be felt.

For now, fans and teams alike are watching and waiting to see where this standout linebacker will make his next big play.
