Ridder Joins Raiders, O'Connell Out With Injury: A New QB Era in Oakland?
The Raiders have a new quarterback in town! After a whirlwind offseason, they've acquired the young and talented Jimmy Garoppolo, replacing Derek Carr, who's now with the Saints. But hold your horses, Raider Nation - things just got a little more complicated.
Starter Jimmy Garoppolo is out with an injury, and the team has called up the rookie, Aidan O'Connell from the practice squad. The news came as a shock to fans, as Garoppolo was expected to lead the team into the new season. So what does this mean for the Raiders?
O'Connell: A Shot at Redemption?
