Breaking: Raiders Emerge as Strong Candidate to Sign Former Top NFL Draft Pick
The Las Vegas Raiders have been atrocious in 2024, as the team is 2-8 and has lost six consecutive games after a 2-2 start. Antonio Pierce’s squad suffered a 34-19 road defeat to the Miami Dolphins in Week 11 and will host the Denver Broncos at Allegiant Stadium in Week 12.
Though many factors have contributed to a dysfunctional season in Las Vegas, incompetent quarterback play has doomed the Raiders all year. Gardner Minshew has been the starter for most of the season and is one of the worst signal callers in the NFL, tossing eight touchdowns and nine interceptions. The veteran has struggled to find consistency and has regressed after a solid 2023 campaign with the Indianapolis Colts.
With no clear answer at the sport’s most vital position for the Raiders this season, many expect the franchise to select a quarterback in the first round of April’s draft. But Sporting News’ Vinnie Iyer believes Las Vegas is a potential landing spot for former New York Giants signal-caller Daniel Jones after he clears waivers on Monday.
Jones was released by the Giants on Friday after he was demoted all the way to QB4 on New York’s depth chart. The 2019 No.6 overall pick had an up-and-down tenure with the franchise and has been underwhelming in 2024.
