Easygoing Gardner Minshew never seems to get stressed out about anything. Aidan O’Connell said he has enjoyed getting to know and work with his new teammate who’s also his competitor. Both want to become the starting quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders. But they don’t appear ready to tear each other down to get there.

On an offense with a strong receiving group led by Davante Adams, two young tight ends in Michael Mayer and Brock Bowers with tremendous upside and a promising running back in Zamir White, quarterback is considered the weak spot.49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga aims for Week 1 return following knee surgerywhile watching six QBs“This is a long process,” first-year offensive coordinator Luke Getsy said. “We’re at the beginning stages of it.
“It’s a new offense, so it’s a little bit like starting over,” O’Connell said. “But at the same time, it is my now second year in the NFL. I think all the extra rookie stuff I don’t have to do anymore is really a weight off my shoulders.” Indianapolis signed Minshew, who previously showed flashes off the bench in Jacksonville and Philadelphia, to come in and provide veteran support to rookie Anthony Richardson. But when Richardson, the No. 4 overall draft pick in 2023 out of Florida, injured his shoulder four games into the season, Minshew got another chance to play.
