Default Minshew to the Raiders.

2 years 25 million with 15 million guaranteed.

I wouldn’t have minded bringing him back for that money. Thats backup money.

Seems a little high for a backup. Maybe half that

The highest AAV back-up contracts signed last year were:

Brissett 1 yr, 8M
Heinicke 2 yr, 14M

So it depends on the contract terms.

Is the 25M total a base number or the max number with lots of playing time or performance incentives included to push it to 25M?


Further, Minshew may have thought that he had a better chance at playing time in Vegas. He knows the Colts are Richardson's team as long as AR is healthy.

It depends on the contract structure but 25 million is average per year money for a baseline nfl starter.

I think your last sentence is the key. Minshew probably wants the chance to play and he won’t get that here as long as AR is healthy.

The Raiders have O’Connell and no one else unless they draft one.

That's a bummer. Dude was a quality backup, a great teammate, and he got a bit of a bad rap despite doing an ok job as a starter for most of the season.

I hope Richardson is healthy all year, but a decent backup QB should be a priority now.
