Raiders Sign Nick Mullens as Additional Backup Quarterback for Derek Carr
The Raiders signed free agent quarterback Nick Mullens on Friday, first reported by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
ESPN’s Field Yates added that Mullens’s contract is for one year. The 27-year-old will earn around $1 million guaranteed, with a chance of making up to $2.5 million.
Las Vegas already has Garrett Gilbert as a backup quarterback for Derek Carr. Gilbert also previously played for the Browns as a backup for Baker Mayfield during the 2019 season.
With Mullens in the picture now, it is unclear which quarterback will act as the the official backup to Carr next season. They will be competing for the role in training camp.
