The Las Vegas Raiders offseason is underway with Tom Telesco taking over as general manager and a veteran coaching staff hired to help head coach Antonio Pierce. Now, the front office is focused on improving the roster with a specific focus on quarterback.
The gamble on quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in 2023 backfired and he’s not expected to be retained. Fortunately for Las Vegas, both the 2024 NFL Draft and NFL free agency will offer some intriguing options to become the starting quarterback next season.
While the Raiders could stick with their best in-house option, it would be a massive gamble for a franchise that hasn’t won a playoff game since 2002. As a result, Pierce acknowledges that Las Vegas will be bringing in significant competition at quarterback.
Speaking to The Athletic’s Vic Tafur before Super Bowl LVIII, Raiders’ head coach Antonio Pierce said the team would acquire a quarterback this offseason. Weeks after officially being named the full-time head coach in Las Vegas, Pierce also shed light on quarterback Aidan O’Connell during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show.
