The Las Vegas Raiders are trying to sort out their quarterback situation, which has impacted top receiver Davante Adams.

One of the biggest questions for head coach Antonio Pierce and the Las Vegas Raiders this season regards the quarterback position, as there is no clear number one option at the number one slot heading into 2024.

As the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2024 NFL training camp rolls on, there are good reports and bad coming out of Antonio Pierce’s first preseason as head coach.

For those following the Las Vegas Raiders training camp and and their lukewarm quarterback battle, a preseason-opening 24-23 loss to the Minnesota Vikings was far more exciting.

The Las Vegas Raiders are going through a transition period under center. Journeyman Gardner Minshew and unproven youngster Aidan O’Connell are their two top options, so they don’t anticipate being a great offense. What should be helpful, though, is Brock Bowers coming along nicely. Bowers, the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and […]

There’s nothing in sports like a trade frenzy surrounding a coveted player. We’re seeing this play out again with the San Francisco 49ers-Brandon Aiyuk trade saga.
