Tom Brady has become the key figure in the Las Vegas Raiders’ rebuilding project, aiming to win the Super Bowl. As a minority owner, the first step was giving Maxx Crosby a three-year, $106.5 million contract extension.
Now, the biggest challenge is finding the right franchise quarterback for the new coach Pete Carroll. Gardner Minshew will be released, and Aidan O’Connell doesn’t seem to be the answer for the future.
For this reason, with the goal of dethroning Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West, several rumors point to names like Russell Wilson or Sam Darnold. However, a legend could emerge as a dark horse in Las Vegas.
What is the future of Aaron Rodgers?
Aaron Rodgers has received full support from Maxx Crosby to become the new quarterback of the Raiders. During an interview on The Rush podcast, the defensive star sent a clear message to the team’s front office about what it would mean to have a quarterback with all that experience.
“I think with all the doubt and all the negativity around Aaron Rodgers like, ‘Oh, he needs to retire’, and things like that, I think he’s gonna come back and have a big year. I hope it’s in our town. That would be legendary. I know the competitor. He is an ultra competitive human being.”
