Silver And Black Pride on Aidan O'Connell

O'Connell drops from No. 3 to backup QB after Mendoza takes over as starter.

After serving as the No. 3 quarterback this season, Aidan O'Connell has reverted to backup status following the Kirk Cousins trade and Fernando Mendoza's promotion to starter. The source notes that many expected O'Connell could be traded, but instead the 2023 fourth-round pick remains on the roster in a diminished role. The source also indicates the Raiders may sign a quarterback to the practice squad and look to acquire a veteran backup for Mendoza in the offseason, further crowding the quarterback room.
