The Las Vegas Raiders made a surprising signing by agreeing to terms with quarterback Gardner Minshew on a two-year contract Monday.
Here are some thoughts on the signing:
The draft:
The Raiders’ hope this offseason has been to draft the quarterback of the future. That could easily still be the plan. But the Minshew move is an insurance policy if the team can’t get it done and it may be a sign that indicates the Raiders realize they will have a difficult time finding their immediate starter in this draft.
