STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

O'Connell's preseason performance sets Raiders single-game record; valuable backup with trade upside.

O'Connell turned the game around in three possessions with 23 plays, 195 yards, two touchdowns and 10:29 of play, setting the Raiders' highest point total for a single game in team history as a starter. As a former 4th-round pick on a rookie deal, he can remain as the #3 quarterback without being declared active and retains trade value as a capable veteran option at low cost. In a doom scenario where Kirk Cousins is injured and the Raiders prioritize protecting number-one overall pick Fernando Mendoza, O'Connell can continue showcasing his abilities before free agency without needing to be cut or traded unless an impressive offer arrives.
