With Marcus Mariota leaving in free agency for the Atlanta Falcons, the Raiders don’t have a lot of depth at the quarterback position behind Derek Carr. The current backup is Nick Mullins, who actually started a game against them last season for the Browns.
So could the Raiders soon be acquiring a new backup for Carr? That appears to be the case.
According to Albert Breer at the MMQB, the Raiders are currently engaged in trade talks to acquire Jarrett Stidham of the Patriots. That deal is expected to be done soon with each team swapping some late-round selections.
