On Tuesday, we looked at potential veteran backup quarterbacks for the Las Vegas Raiders to pursue if they trade Marcus Mariota.
Signing a veteran backup would be in character for Las Vegas coach Jon Gruden. His history is to have a veteran as his No. 2 and he may just keep Nathan Peterman, who already re-signed for the 2021 season, as his backup rather than his No. 3.
Also, developing rookie quarterbacks is not an easy thing to pull off. Many top-round quarterbacks in the draft don’t pan out and it gets more dicey the later quarterbacks are drafted.
