Much ado about Gardner Minshew II.
Look up potential cuts for all 32 teams and you’ll find the veteran quarterback atop many of lists for the Las Vegas Raiders to axe this offseason.
There’s merit to Minshew being the most readily identifiable cuttable Raider.
The 28-year-old was an abject failure for the Silver & Black after inking a two-year, $25 million contract ($15 million guaranteed including a $6 million signing bonus) last offseason.
Minshew and Aidan O’Connell engaged in an anticlimactic competition for the starting quarterback role under then-head coach Antonio Pierce and, at times over the course of practices and preseason games, the lackluster performance from the two made it seem like neither one wanted the signal caller role under then-offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.
