The Las Vegas Raiders canāt seem to catch a break. They made the somewhat questionable decision to move on from Derek Carr to Jimmy Garoppolo, and they didnāt even try and get one of the best prospects in the NFL Draft.
Jimmy Gās contract could be voided on the basis of an injured foot, leaving the Raiders with a less-than-impressive QB room and Brian Hoyer as the likeliest starter.

Needless to say, thatās far from an ideal situation, which is why they might look to consider multiple options ā yes, including Tom Brady ā as their quarterback for next season.
NFL Rumors: 3 Potential Quarterbacks For The Las Vegas Raiders
3. Tom Brady

Tom Brady was reportedly set to buy a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders. That means NFL owners could -literally- force him to stay retired before approving that transaction.
So, Brady could have to choose between playing for Josh McDaniels again and running it back for at least one season, or potentially making millions watching his money grow from home. I know what I would do.
2. Gardner Minshew

Minshew Mania didnāt last long enough. Gardner Minshewās shockingly impressive start to his career was as unsustainable as predicted, but heās still far better than the average backup QB.
The Indianapolis Colts drafted Anthony Richardson, so they could be tempted to give up on Minshew at a reasonable price. Heād be a solid stopgap for them, even if they intend to tank for Caleb Williams.
1. Trey Lance

Multiple teams reportedly reached out to the San Francisco 49ers to ask about Trey Lanceās availability. He has struggled with injuries and inconsistency, but heās still quite young.
The Niners have made it clear that Brock Purdy will be the starter when heās healthy, so Lance could also be more than open to finding a new home, obviously making the best and most logical fit.
