The Las Vegas Raiders already had a backup quarterback issue on their hands this preseason based on the play of Aidan O'Connell and Cam Miller. However, now with O'Connell likely sidelined for the first two months of the 2025 NFL season, the team needs to go out and find a solid backup.
This will be a difficult task, as solid backups do not grow on trees, and teams are not exactly eager to get rid of them. So, the Raiders will have to play a balancing game to make sure that they do not give up too much draft capital for a player that, ideally, should never touch the field this season.
