After starting six games under center for the Oakland Raiders in 2013, Matt McGloin saw action in just one game last season (12-for-19 for 129 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions) as he took a clear back seat to rookie Derek Carr. Carr is again in place as the Raiders clear-cut starting quarterback, which leaves McGloin battling for a backup role and quite possibly a roster spot looking toward the start of training camp.
The Raiders signed Christian Ponder in free agency, as a theoretical upgrade to their quarterback depth for this season.
