- NFL. Tom Brady travels back in time to reunite with the other loves of his life who is not Gisele Bundchen
Since Derek Carr left the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022, the franchise has struggled to find stability at the quarterback position. During this free agency period, the team from the NFC West acquired Geno Smith from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2025 Draft.
This move reunites Smith with head coach Pete Carroll, who previously coached him in Seattle. In his three seasons as a starter, Geno posted a 27-22 record and led the team to a playoff appearance in the 2023 season.
Now, everything suggests that the Raiders will have Smith as their starting quarterback, but they are looking to add depth to the position. Several players have emerged as potential candidates to Tom Brady's team. The most sought-after prospect is Shedeur Sanders, but for now, it appears the Raiders have been closely following a talent from Alabama.
Jalen Milroe to have private workout with the Las Vegas Raiders
Despite showing flashes of brilliance with the Seahawks, the 34-year-old Geno Smith is not a guaranteed success. As a result, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe is set to visit Las Vegas for a private workout, indicating that the team may be seriously considering him.
Former Alabama head coach and multiple-time college football champion Nick Saban had nothing but praise for Milroe, stating, "He is our guy." With those words from the legendary coach, Milroe's stock ahead of the Draft has certainly risen.
Milroe served as team captain for a couple of years, leading Alabama to multiple College Football Playoff appearances and securing two SEC titles. In 2024, he completed 64.3% of his es for 2,844 yards, throwing 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions
His biggest issue: The last game against the Michigan Wolverines
In his final appearance with Alabama at the ReliaQuest Bowl, Milroe raised some concerns by completing just 16 of 32 es for 192 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. His performance highlighted one of his biggest weaknesses-ing accuracy.
However, there is no doubt about Milroe's talent. He has the potential to shine in the NFL if placed in the right system. Spending a few seasons behind Geno Smith could be beneficial for his development, especially since both quarterbacks share some similarities.
