to the Raiders...never thought the Texans would be able to trade him...thought he would end up being cut and then sign with another team for much less...wow!

Oakland Raiders now are expected to trade a 2014 late-round pick to Houston Texans in exchange for QB Matt Schaub, per league source.

Cleveland expressed some interest in Matt Schaub, who could have been reunited with Kyle Shanahan, but Oakland wanted Schaub even more.

I actually don't hate this for Oakland. They have the money and even bad Schaub is better than Pryor or McGloin. Plus now they don't have to over draft a QB.

Eh it's a low risk move for the Raiders. They've got the cash and if he turns it around they could actually be decent for once.

They've actually had a good history until the past decade. My brother approves of this move. At least some Raiders fans are happy with the offseason they've had.

Very low risk move!
As a Raiders fan I like it.

I don't know why anyone would want to pay Schaub's contract, let alone trade a pick for that privilege. The guy really doesn't have one redeeming feature.
