NEWS NOW: The Raiders quarterback made the decision to quit for three reasons, That the head coach…

Reid stated in a blog published on April 4 that the Raiders “probably won’t stay out of the QB running, especially after Jimmy Garoppolo lasted one season (partially on the bench) with the team and signed Gardner Minshew this offseason and drafted Aidan O’Connell in the fourth round last year.” “An additional passer needs to be added to the roster, regardless of whether a trade is made at the top of the draft, where the Raiders select at No. 13, or anywhere on Day 2. Although it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Raiders move back into the first round later on in order to grab a quarterback, it makes sense to look to Rattler in this scenario because five signal-callers are already off the board.“I made the rounds to a bunch of pro days over the past month, and I came away really impressed with Rattler. He has had a solid pre-draft process overall. Rattler is a balanced and in-rhythm thrower, and despite playing behind a struggling offensive line, he finished 2023 with 3,186 passing yards and 19 touchdown passes. The talent is obvious, but quicker decision-making under pressure is still needed.”
