Vincent Bonsignore, Las Vegas Raiders reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, joined Cattles & Ramie Friday to talk about the quarterback news swirling around the team, along with more offseason notes.

Over the Memorial Day weekend, Pro Football Talk reported that new Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had an addendum added to his contract that he could be released if he doesn’t pass a physical following surgery to repair last season’s foot injury.

Topics discussed include:

  • Why the team decided to move on from Derek Carr and replace him with Jimmy Garoppolo
  • How serious did the Raiders get on the Aaron Rodgers discussions
  • Josh McDaniels may not have anxiety about Garoppolo’s health, but is there any in the locker room?
  • How quarterback Aidan O’Connell, who was selected in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Purdue, has stood out in OTAs
  • Is Chandler Jones expected to play lighter this season?
  • Why the defense is always a concern for the Raiders
