so sad annnouncement :Las vegas Raiders qb derek carr have announce to leave due to…
The Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly one of several teams that have a meeting arranged with USC quarterback Caleb Williams at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis this week. This is reportedly indication that the organization is interested in trading all the way to the top of the draft.
Williams is a lock to go first in the draft on April 25–27. As of right now, the Raiders own the 13th overall pick. Tom Telesco, the new general manager of Las Vegas, stated to reporters in Indianapolis on Tuesday that the team might think about trading up for a quarterback. Antonio Pierce, the coach of the Raiders, made it apparent on Wednesday that he wants to move up for a quarterback by calling himself a “go-getter.” Contrary to a rumor published last week, Pierce wants to work with Aidan O’Connell.
To persuade the Chicago Bears to give up the first overall choice would need an enormous financial investment on the part of the Raiders. The Bears are more likely to draft Williams and trade quarterback Justin Fields while they are still considering their options. It is anticipated that a decision will be reached before the start of the new NFL league season in two weeks.
It’s not unexpected that the Raiders are speaking with Williams this week even though it’s unlikely that they will have the opportunity to choose him. When it comes to the combine, expect Las Vegas to be interested in every quarterback prospect. It is the reason they are all present, after all.
Indeed, in addition to Williams, the Raiders are also in talks with Jayden Daniels, the quarterback from LSU, in Indianapolis. Daniels, who is anticipated to demand a significant trade-up to acquire, played for Arizona State with Raiders coach Antonio Pierce and may be a more attractive target for Las Vegas than Williams.
Of the eight teams NFL Media is reporting that will interview Williams, the Raiders currently own the lowest draft pick. So, when the Bears receive offers, there are several other teams interested that have a better starting point of compensation,
The Raiders contingent will have a head start with their meeting with Williams. New Las Vegas quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello recently worked with Williams to prep him for the draft.
