The Las Vegas Raiders looked to Gardner Minshew to lead the team in 2024. That gamble has not paid off thus far.
Minshew has thrown for 1,783 yards with eight touchdowns and nine interceptions and has led the team to a 2-6 record. Backup Aidan O’Connell has not been any better, throwing for 455 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions while guiding the team to an 0-2 record.
Collectively, the quarterbacks have led the team to a 2-8 start and they will likely be competing with the Giants for a high draft position in April. The Raiders should be a prime candidate to draft a top quarterback like Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders at the draft, but bringing in a veteran like Jones alongside a rookie could be intriguing.
