The Las Vegas Raiders have established themselves as one of the worst teams in the NFL during the 2025 season, as the twin decisions to hire Pete Carroll and hand Geno Smith a big contract extension are coming back to bite them in the worst way.
With Smith throwing almost as many interceptions (an NFL-worst 14) as touchdowns (15), it's becoming clear that general manager John Spytek will need to move some pieces around in the quarterback room to land someone who can make a difference in the AFC West.
Even with a questionable quarterback class that lacks high-end talent and a roster that may be the worst in the AFC due to how many positions are in need of a major upgrade, the Raiders may be targeting a young gun who could come right in and instantly make things happen.
