The Las Vegas Raiders have had a rough go in 2024, especially after losing star receiver Davante Adams and a lot of their offensive coaching. With the last games of the regular season approaching quickly, many fans and analysts think the team should look ahead to next year.
CBS Sports' Chris Trapasso listed the Raiders as one of the best fits for star Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward in the draft. If Las Vegas keeps head coach Antonio Pierce around next season, it is likely they will target a quarterback in the draft
"As for the Raiders, they're wide open," wrote Trapasso. "Will Antonio Pierce be retained for 2025? How about GM Tom Telesco. If so, they'd enter the 2025 quarterback market with an open mind. Pierce was at Arizona State for part of the Jayden Daniels tenure. Ward isn't as nimble as Daniels, but there are similarities in their play style."
Ward is likely to be one of the first quarterbacks taken off of the board in next year's draft since he is having one of the best seasons in college football. He has amounted to 3,146 passing yards and 29 touchdowns in 2024 and has taken the Hurricanes to new heights.
