Breaking: Raiders Set To Sign $242.6 Million Super Bowl Champion QB After Cutting Ties With Veteran QB
A nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback is scheduled to meet with the Las Vegas Raiders soon. For the next season, the Raiders are considering a number of candidates for the starting quarterback position.
The Las Vegas Raiders need a QB
It has been speculated that the Raiders and the Chicago Bears trade for Justin Fields. There is conjecture that the Raiders might select J.J. McCarthy by trading up in the first round.
Antonio Pierce, the head coach, might bring in a veteran to provide a stopgap instead of a band-aid.
The Raiders could add nine-time Pro Bowl QB Russell Wilson
Russell Wilson, who was just dismissed by the Denver Broncos, is anticipated to meet with the Raiders, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Wilson could return to the AFC West in 2024
Since the Broncos cut Wison to spread out their dead cap cost over the next two seasons, he has had a busy week. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants are meeting with him.
Wilson would be an inexpensive choice for the Raiders as quarterback. The Raiders can contract him for the league minimum since the Broncos are still writing payments for him through the 2024 campaign. The Raiders may select a rookie quarterback in the April draft then sign Wilson in the offseason.
Raiders make QB move amid Russell Wilson, Justin Fields rumors
The Raiders make a move.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the quarterback Brian Hoyer was dismissed by the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday. An update on the financial effects of Las Vegas’ decision to release Hoyer was given by Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
According to Bonsignore’s post on X (formerly Twitter), “The @Raiders release of QB Brian Hoyer means a $2.6M cap hit for the 2024 season as part of the $4.205M he was guaranteed at signing on a two-year deal.”
This summer, the Raiders have already been connected to a number of prospective quarterbacks. Although Las Vegas would really like to make a run at the playoffs in 2024, they lack stability at the position following Derek Carr’s departure. Justin Fields has also been floated as a potential addition to Las Vegas, along with Russell Wilson.
It will be interesting to watch what Brian Hoyer does in the future. After being released, he could attract interest as a competent backup quarterback.
Brian Hoyer’s NFL future after Raiders release
Hoyer, 38, might think about giving up. Since 2009, he has been a member of the NFL’s New England Patriots, Arizona Cardinals, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, Indianapolis Colts, and Raiders, among other teams.
Hoyer made just three appearances in 2023 while playing for Las Vegas. Although Hoyer is a seasoned player with plenty of league experience, he won’t be in the running for many starting quarterback positions throughout the league.
Naturally, as previously indicated, maybe Hoyer may think about retiring. He has, after all, had a solid NFL career. It’s a remarkable accomplishment to play professional football at the highest level for 15 years.
The Raiders will keep looking for their next quarterback in the interim. A leader who can guide Las Vegas back to the postseason is needed.
The Raiders are going to be a fascinating club to watch throughout the NFL offseason.
