Las Vegas Raiders 2024 Season Preview

The Antonio Pierce era officially commences in Las Vegas, the interim tag was removed and he was granted the job after a successful stint filling in after Josh Mcdaniels was let go from the job. Along with it comes either the Gardner Minshew or Aidan McConnell quarterback era. Jimmy Garoppolo has moved on to Los Angeles and had a suspension to serve.

Josh Jacobs moved on to Green Bay, leaving questions at running back, Zamir White will likely be the lead man. Brock Bowers was an interesting choice early in the draft but should be a key safety blanket for whoever starts at quarterback. He’ll line up across from last year’s draft pick at tight end in Michael Mayer.

The two young tight ends along with veteran receivers Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers will make for a strong receiving core for whenever ends up as the starting quarterback. After taking Bowers with their first pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Raiders focused on the offensive line with back-to-back picks at C/G and offensive tackle to shore up their line and protect the young quarterback.
