The Las Vegas Raiders are a QB Away From Title Contention
The Las Vegas Raiders have been a team on the rise around the NFL this offseason, working to rebuild around key players like Maxx Crosby and Davante Adams.
The Raiders closed out the 2023 season strong, winning three of their final four contests and setting the tone going into a crucial offseason. Las Vegas kicked their offseason off by signing head coach Antonio Pierce to a long-term deal and got to work, retooling their roster.
In free agency, the Raiders added some solid pieces in players like Gardner Minshew, Christian Wilkins, and Alexander Mattison. Las Vegas also brought in a draft class riddled with potential and could see an immediate impact from their incoming rookie class.
This offseason, the Raiders worked to build on a strong 2023 roster, landing one of the better draft classes in the NFL. Las Vegas stuck to their board and landed players that will make an immediate impact in Brock Bowers and Jackson Powers-Johnson.
At quarterback, Vegas will likely turn to a new QB1 in Minshew, who landed with the Raiders after earning his first Pro Bowl nod in 2023. With the Indianapolis Colts last season, Minshew showed he’s still a starting-caliber quarterback in the NFL, completing 62% of his passes for 3,305 passing yards and 15 touchdowns with nine interceptions.
