The Las Vegas Raiders have made a bold move to upgrade their quarterback position by acquiring a seasoned signal-caller from the Seattle Seahawks. In exchange, the Raiders have traded a 2025 third-round pick, a valuable asset they had previously received from the New York Jets in the Davante Adams trade.
This move comes as the Raiders aim to bolster their roster, but it also leaves them with a key gap to fill. The team now faces the challenge of replacing the pick they’ve traded away while integrating their new quarterback into the system.
The quarterback acquired enters the final year of his current contract, and the next step is for the Raiders to negotiate a contract extension. With a $16 million roster bonus looming, the Raiders are under pressure to finalize an agreement quickly to reduce his cap hit for 2025, currently projected at $31 million.

Sources indicate that the team is on track to complete the extension this week, signaling their commitment to a brighter future and strengthening their position for the upcoming season. However, the trade leaves an open question as to how the team will address the loss of the third-round pick and ensure they continue to build for success.
Stay tuned for further updates as the Raiders work to finalize this deal and prepare for the future.
