"Raiders Sign Gardner Minshew as Potential Starting Quarterback"

The Las Vegas Raiders have signed quarterback Gardner Minshew to a two-year, $25 million contract with $15 million guaranteed, in a move to compete with second-year quarterback Aidan O'Connell. This signing suggests the Raiders may be out of the running to acquire Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears but could still trade up in the draft for a top quarterback prospect. The addition of Minshew may also lead to potential tension with Raiders Pro Bowl edge rusher Maxx Crosby. Minshew's strong performance as a backup for the Indianapolis Colts last season has earned him this opportunity with the Raiders.
