The Las Vegas Raiders kept Nathan Peterman on the 53-man roster in a move that makes no sense if this team wants to win now.

Is there really a reason for the Las Vegas Raiders to keep Nathan Peterman on the roster?

Normally, teams will only keep two quarterbacks on the roster at one time, and if an injury befalls a starter, then a third quarterback is brought into the backup’s backup.
