The Las Vegas Raiders officially have their general manager with the hiring of Tom Telesco and his most important job is finding a solution at quarterback this offseason. The team holds the No. 13 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, which makes drafting one of the top prospects difficult.
If the Raiders don’t have an avenue to trade up in the draft, they could look to free agency. The Denver Broncos are expected to release quarterback Russell Wilson this offseason despite his five-year, $242 million contract. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler surveyed the NFL to see who is the best fit for Wilson and one executive is predicting the nine-time Pro Bowler to end up in Las Vegas.
“[The Raiders] need a vet, and they are one of Wilson’s original teams he wanted to go to,” an NFC executive told Fowler in a January 24 column. “He’d stay in the [AFC West], West Coast, and [Wilson’s wife] Ciara can do a [Las Vegas] residency [as a live performer].”
