Unexpected Raider has found new life under Pete Carroll in Las Vegas

The Las Vegas Raiders have enjoyed no stability at the quarterback position since the departure of Derek Carr in 2022. Jimmy Garoppolo and Gardner Minshew both bombed their opportunities with the Silver and Black, and backups Brian Hoyer and Desmond Ridder provided no value either.

There has been one mainstay amid all this chaos, however, and that is Aidan O'Connell. While he is a polarizing player among Raider Nation, he is a quarterback on a rookie contract that has apparently shown enough to remain with the team through three entirely different regimes.

While Pete Carroll and John Spytek were reportedly shopping O'Connell at one point in the offseason, and his name frequently comes up in trade talks, it seems like the third-year product from Purdue may be settling in at Raiders training camp.
