He had a great spring. He came back a little bigger, a little stronger. He's thrown the ball really well.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

O'Connell positioned as first-backup option; Spytek praises physical improvements and arm talent.

Fourth-year veteran backup QB with 21 games and 17 starts of NFL experience; may be first man up if Cousins injured; getting game-ready is vital for Raiders contingency planning; came back 'a little bigger, a little stronger' and 'thrown the ball really well' per GM John Spytek; learning Kubiak's complex offense from scratch with zero prior experience in the system; benefits from prior experience assimilating to Josh McDaniels' complex scheme as 2023 rookie; competing with Mendoza and pushing Cousins per Kubiak's expectations.
