Breaking: Raiders Close in to Sign titans Former Pro Bowl QB in a Blockbuster Deal.
This offseason, the Las Vegas Raiders chose to continue using quarterbacks Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew, and the outcomes have been uneven. Neither of the two has done enough to deserve the starting quarterback position, thus they are presently competing for it.
The two actually had a very difficult time at training camp and threw a lot of interceptions. It will be challenging for the Raiders to win games if the quarterback position receives poor play at the most crucial position in the NFL: quarterback.
Neither the trade market nor free agency offer a lot of choices. Minshew and O’Connell will most likely continue to spar throughout the preseason for the Raiders. But the team could have to think about their choices if the two perform poorly in the preseason.
Las Vegas boasts a strong offensive line and a top-10 defense in terms of points allowed in the previous campaign. With the right quarterback, this club may make it to the playoffs. Ryan Tannehill, a former Pro Bowl quarterback for the Tennessee Titans, is the only notable quarterback left available in free agency. Despite having been benched during a difficult season, he may still be a viable choice if the Raiders’ prospects don’t look good.
Benefits & Drawbacks of a Ryan Tannehill Not many people will be thrilled with the Raiders signing Tannehill. In ten games the previous season, he threw four touchdowns to seven interceptions. But after he was cut loose by the Miami Dolphins in 2019, he was viewed as damaged property.
In response, he helped the Titans win 7-3, earned Comeback Player of the Year, and qualified for the 2019 Pro Bowl. Even though Tannehill is now older (36), he might benefit from another fresh start. Compared to the Titans of last season, the Raiders have far superior offensive weapons.
