The Las Vegas Raiders are looking to bounce back from a tumultuous 2023 season. The Raiders finished 8-9 on the season, went through multiple quarterback changes, and saw their head coach get fired.
The team is hoping the 2024 season is different, however, one recent quarterback report suggests it could be more of the same for this upcoming season.
According to Matthew Schmidt of NFL Analysis:
The Las Vegas Raiders don’t exactly have an enviable situation under center, as Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew will be competing for the starting quarterback job in training camp.
Some are higher on O’Connell than others, but based on everything head coach Antonio Pierce has said throughout the offseason, it doesn’t appear the Raiders view him as their franchise quarterback.
Could Las Vegas’ shaky signal-caller situation prompt the team to potentially trade one of O’Connell or Minshew in the middle of the 2024 NFL campaign?
Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine thinks so.
Ballentine named the Raiders as a club that could potentially sell off some pieces this coming season, and O’Connell and Minshew were two of the names that made the list of possible trade chips.
Will the Raiders contend in 2024?
There was a lot of hype surrounding the Raiders during the second half of last season, as Pierce displaced Josh McDaniels as the team’s head coach and led Las Vegas to a 5-4 record under his direction.
The Raiders played a refreshing brand of smashmouth football with Pierce at the helm in 2023, highlighted by a Christmas win over the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
