HENDERSON, Nev.—The Las Vegas Raiders provided exactly what Pete Carroll wanted: a competitive 2025 NFL Training Camp.
Tomorrow at 4 PM ET, the legendary franchise and first-year General Manager John Spytek must submit his initial 53-man roster. I left one spot in my final projection open for a quarterback who has not yet been signed.
That said, despite that open quarterback position, I believe there could be an additional two players making the roster for the season opener against the New England Patriots who are currently not on the roster.
Building a roster is one of the most intense and complex tasks in football. Typically, this time of camp makes it easier for prognosticators. Still, this year is particularly challenging due to the dynamic between John Spytek and Pete Carroll in their first year together.
There is no animosity between the two; instead, there is a new dynamic characterized by mutual respect.
Without further delay, here is our third and final projected list:
2. QB (Yet to be Added)
3. QB Cam Miller (R)
4. RB ASHTON JEANTY (R)
