The Las Vegas Raiders my still be a few years away from being a Super Bowl contender in the NFL. While their new direction under Antonio Pierce has a lot of fans excited, having a quality starting quarterback is a requirement to keep playing in January and February.
The Raiders could, however, be in position to get their guy.
The Las Vegas Raiders Could Land Their Next Franchise Quarterback
There will be limited free agent quarterbacks next offseason, so the Raiders will likely have to look at the draft. Las Vegas could be an option for Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to ESPN’s Jordan Reid.
“The Las Vegas Raiders are the most obvious quarterback-needy team heading into the season, as neither 2023 fourth-round pick Aidan O’Connell nor journeyman Gardner Minshew seems to be the long-term answer,” Reid wrote in an August 2 column.
“With new general manager Tom Telesco and new coach Antonio Pierce entering their first year together, the search for a franchise QB might be their overwhelming No. 1 priority for the 2025 draft.
The Raiders reportedly did extensive homework on the 2024 QB class prior to exploring a potential move into the top three. But after being unable to secure their QB of the future then, the team could try again to solidify that spot next offseason.”
Below are Sanders’ career colligate stats:
| CMP | ATT | CMP% | YDS | AVG | TD | INT | LNG | RTG |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 298 | 430 | 69.3 | 3,230 | 7.5 | 27 | 3 | 75 | 151.7 |
| 341 | 483 | 70.6 | 3,732 | 7.7 | 40 | 6 | 86 | 160.4 |
| 272 | 413 | 65.9 | 3,231 | 7.8 | 30 | 8 | 74 | 151.7 |
