NFL free agency is still weeks away but if the Las Vegas Raiders want to address their quarterback need now, they could now feasibly do it. It's been widely reported that the Los Angeles Rams and Matthew Stafford could be headed toward a divorce.
"Will the Raiders sign a QB and draft one? Sam Darnold likely is the best free-agent QB available, but there will be other veterans for the new regime of Tom Brady, Pete Carroll and John Spytek to consider," Tafur wrote. "Kirk Cousins? Meh. The name to watch is Matthew Stafford if the Rams trade him."
The Las Vegas Raiders may have to give up Aidan O'Connell if they want to trade for the star veteran quarterback.
That said, everything this offseason has indicated that he's going to be involved in football operations. He had a strong voice in adding John Spytek as general manager and Pete Carroll as head coach. He also is apparently set to play a large role in who the next quarterback will be.
