Should the Raiders be interested in Tua Tagovailoa this offseason?
The Raiders can't afford to repeat the veteran quarterback mistake with Tagovailoa a la Smith. If Spytek is going in a different direction at quarterback, it should be through the 2026 NFL draft, where the Raiders are currently slated to possess an opportunity to draft Fernando Mendoza or Dante Moore with a top-two pick.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel discussed the decision to bench Tua Tagovailoa and go with rookie Quinn Ewers as the team’s starting quarterback at his Wednesday press conference.
