The Las Vegas Raiders might look towards an all-time nice this offseason.
“The assumption across the league is the Las Vegas Raiders will pursue Tom Brady in some trend,” ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler stated on SportsCenter. “They’ve the familiarity with Josh McDaniels and so they know what they’re stepping into there.”
Las Vegas is expected to maneuver on from Derek Carr this offseason, which might put it available in the market for a brand new quarterback.

The Raiders had been among the many most disappointing groups within the league in 2022, failing to reside as much as elevated expectations that had been in place after buying large receiver Davante Adams.
Carr has at all times put up strong statistics, however the workforce is but to win a playoff recreation since choosing him with a second-round choose within the 2014 NFL draft.
