Raiders Unlikely To Make Large Financial Commitment To Veteran QB
36 seconds agoThe Athletic's Tashan Reed and Vic Tafur feel that it's unlikely that the Las Vegas Raiders will make a large financial commitment to a veteran quarterback who is expected to be available this offseason, according to league sources. The Raiders reportedly offered a two-year deal worth up to $90-100 million guaranteed to Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, but he's now off the board after he and the Rams agreed to a restructured deal on Friday. With Stafford now unavailable, the Raiders could be in a tough spot, as league sources say the coaching staff prefers adding a proven veteran QB as opposed to taking a dice roll on an unproven rookie QB in what is considered a weak class. They have the sixth overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft, but the only options worth drafting in the first round could be gone by the time they are on the clock. Aidan O'Connell, Gardner Minshew III and Carter Bradley are the QBs on the current roster, but none of them have been viable starters, and Minshew is expected to be released.
