The Las Vegas Raiders are facing another significant decision for the second consecutive offseason, as they need to determine their quarterback situation.
The team is anticipated to seek an improvement from Aidan O’Connell, who finished the 2023 season as the starter. The Raiders have the option to select a quarterback in the draft, acquire one through a trade, or secure the services of a free agent.
One of the premier quarterbacks available in free agency this offseason is set to be Baker Mayfield, who had a remarkable resurgence in 2023 while playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who secured the NFC South championship.
Mayfield may not be considered among the elite quarterbacks, and he does have certain limitations. However, teams could find themselves with worse options, and he brings a spirited and determined leadership to the table.
Nevertheless, it’s highly probable that Mayfield will opt to extend his contract with Tampa Bay. Additionally, as Mayfield approaches his 29th birthday in April, there are reports suggesting he might command a substantial salary. However, there remains a possibility that he becomes available on the open market.
What do you think about the Raiders’ potential pursuit of Mayfield?
