It remains to be seen who will start at quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders on Sept. 8, when they kick off their 2024 season with a road tilt against the AFC West rival Los Angeles Chargers.<\/p>\n
What we do know is that the Las Vegas Raiders will have a new Week 1 starter for the second straight year. Jimmy Garoppolo, who opened 2023 as the starting QB, was released after completing just one season of a three-year deal.<\/p>\n
Sophomore Aidan O\u2019Connell finished last season as the starting QB after Garoppolo was benched. His competition is veteran Gardner Minshew II, who signed a two-year deal worth $25 million after a superb 2023 season with the Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n
But if the Las Vegas Raiders don\u2019t get much production out of O\u2019Connell and\/or Minshew in 2024, GM Tom Telesco will surely be in the market for a new quarterback. And\u00a0Bleacher Report\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0scouting department proposed one enticing name as a potential target for next year.<\/p>\n That would be\u00a0Dallas Cowboys<\/a>\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Dak Prescott<\/a>, who\u2019s entering the final season of a four-year deal he signed in the 2021 offseason:<\/p>\n \u201cThe Dallas Cowboys are playing a dangerous game by letting Dak Prescott get this far without a new contract. The 31-year-old is in the final year of his current deal, and the Cowboys also have contract negotiations with CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons to consider.<\/p>\n If Prescott gets through this season without an extension, it would only make sense for him to at least see what he could get on the open market.<\/p>\n The Raiders would make sense as a landing spot. Considering the supporting cast that includes Davante Adams, Brock Bowers, Jakobi Meyers and Michael Mayer with a promising defense, Prescott could be the missing piece.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Is Dak Prescott on his way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame if he wins a Super Bowl? \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n \u2022 29,459 passing yards \u2014 Ernie The Cowboys Fan (@es3_09) August 1, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
