Raiders complete trade for Patriots QB Jarrett Stidham

May 12, 2022 by Raiders Wire Leave a Comment

With Marcus Mariota leaving in free agency for the Atlanta Falcons, the Raiders don’t have a lot of depth at the quarterback position behind Derek Carr. The current backup is Nick Mullins, who actually started a game against them last season for the Browns.

According to Albert Breer at the MMQB, the Raiders have acquired Jarrett Stidham of the Patriots. That deal has now been completed with each team swapping some late-round selections.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Raiders will trade away a 2023 sixth-round choice for Stidham and a 2023 seventh-round pick.

Stidham was originally a fourth-round pick by the Patriots during the 2019 NFL Draft and has been the backup quarterback in New England over the past three years. He has yet to start a game in the NFL, but he has thrown 48 passes over the last three seasons.

Considering that Josh McDaniels was his offensive coordinator in New England, it’s clear that he wanted to bring in a backup quarterback that knows his system to help run practice, help Derek Carr, etc.

When acquired, he will instantly be the No. 2 quarterback in Las Vegas with Mullens and Garrett Gilbert (another former Patriots quarterback) competing for the No. 3 job. Stidham is 25 years old and played college football at Baylor and Auburn.
