The Las Vegas Raiders are far from being a contender in the AFC and haven’t won the Super Bowl in more than 40 years. Last season, Josh McDaniels was fired after Week 8 and Antonio Pierce received a chance as interim head coach.

The Raiders showed signs of improvement winning five of their last nine games and Pierce got the permanent job toward 2024. His first big decision was to let go Jimmy Garoppolo and bring in Gardner Minshew.

However, Aidan O’Connell was the name leading that revamp and that’s why no knew for sure who will be the new starting quarterback. In order to compete with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, this a massive decision.
