Aidan O’Connell
Rising star Aidan O’Connell, who stepped in as the starter following Minshew’s injury, has opted to continue developing under the Raiders’ system. O’Connell showed promise in the latter half of the 2024 season, earning praise for his poise and potential.
“The opportunity to grow with this team is something I don’t take lightly,” O’Connell said. “I’m looking forward to building on what we accomplished last year.”
Carter Bradley
Carter Bradley, an undrafted free agent who impressed in limited opportunities, has signed a one-year extension to remain with the team. Bradley’s work ethic and adaptability have earned him a chance to compete for a backup role, solidifying his place on the roster.
