The Las Vegas Raiders struck out on a possible trade for Matthew Stafford so it’s back to the drawing board regarding possible quarterbacks for 2025. The fact that the team was going so hard after Stafford means that they could prefer a veteran quarterback this offseason.
However, the Raiders would be wise to bring in at least one quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. A big player to watch is Ohio State quarterback Will Howard.
He just won a national championship with new Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly calling plays and he could be available in the third round if Las Vegas wants to draft him.
For his part, he loved playing for Kelly and would be thrilled to reunite with him at the NFL level.
“It would be awesome, man,” Howard told reporters at the NFL scouting combine. “Seeing that move from Coach Kelly, I’m so happy for him. He’s one of the best coaches I’ve had, man, and one of my favorite people I’ve been around. We’ve stayed in contact. It would be amazing to get the opportunity to play for him again. Really anyone, I’d be happy to go anywhere, man, but he’s a great dude, and I’m just so happy he got the opportunity that he did. I think that’s a really good place.”
