Jimmy Garoppolo, Brian Hoyer, and Aidan O’Connell made up the Las Vegas Raiders’ quarterback room. O’Connell will stay on the team, while Garoppolo will most likely be released, and Hoyer may be let go or retire. The Raiders will be adding a quarterback to the roster this offseason, however it’s unknown if they would seek a veteran or a rookie. Head coach Antonio Pierce made this announcement.largely adjusted to Josh McDaniels’ offensive playbook. The three are still bound by their contracts through 2024, although the team will probably undergo significant changes following McDaniels’ dismissal during the 2023 campaign.
I’m all about competition. That would sort itself out. However, as the season progressed, I felt Aidan O’Connell performed a fantastic job of managing the game, looking after the football, and carrying out our requests. We have now made some adjustments to the offensive end of the ball. As you are aware, we plan to include a quarterback in some capacity and to let those players compete.
It’s not a surprise that the Raiders have plans at quarterback but this is the first time Pierce has confirmed those plans.
Antonio Pierce Talks Building Coaching Staff Antonio Pierce has only been coaching in the NFL for two years and this will be his first time putting a coaching staff together at this level. He’s been patient and it helps that he was able to retain defensive coordinator Patrick Graham and much of the defensive staff.
According to a blog written by Vic Tafur for The Athletic on February 8, Pierce stated, “Keeping Patrick Graham was the key part.” “That has me fired up and excited.”
The team did appoint Luke Getsy as offensive coordinator, but it has taken longer to assemble an offensive line. Pierce talked candidly about the hiring process for his crew.
According to a blog written by Vic Tafur for The Athletic on February 8, Pierce stated, “It takes patience and clear thoughts, not emotion.” There are numerous factors involved.

Everyone possesses

The most important thing to me is to hire people that share the vision, character, and mindset I want to see throughout our firm moving ahead. The first and most important thing has to be culture. I’ve seen a thousand PowerPoints, so everyone has their Xs and Os, but more importantly, how does that connect with our players and our future goals?
When former All-Pro wide receiver Chad Johnson said that Antonio Pierce was hiring him to join the Raiders coaching staff, it caused quite a stir. Pierce even replied, implying that Johnson would take on the role of wide receiver coach.
But that was all merely a very sophisticated practical joke between the two. In a February 7 interview, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN acknowledged that Johnson is “just having some fun on social media.”
