The Raiders signed quarterback Landry Jones, according to a team announcement. He’ll join Derek Carr, new addition Mike Glennon, and Nathan Peterman in a suddenly crowded QB room. 
Ben Roethlisberger‘s backup for a few seasons, Jones saw the Steelers go with Joshua Dobbs and rookie Mason Rudolph in 2018. Jones landed with the Jaguars, but the stay was brief. He also worked out for the Redskins, Bills, 49ers, Patriots, Cowboys, and Bucs last year.
Up until the Jags deal, Jones spent his entire NFL career with the Steelers. In a limited sample of playing time, Jones completed 64% of his throws with eight touchdowns against seven interceptions. Among the quarterbacks who have thrown at least 160 passes between 2013 and 2017, Jones ranked 35th in passer rating and 26th in adjusted net yards per attempt, but it’s difficult to assign much relevance to those numbers given his lack of reps.
Of course, the Raiders could still go shopping for a quarterback in the draft and they may still be eyeing another former Oklahoma QB in Kyler Murray.
Should be better than peterman….doubt he supplants glennon as the backup. Maybe a third string or practice team qb.
Stronger arm, more mobile than the statue Glennon.
Bizarre signing. Peterman should be out now.
Everything the Raiders have done since hiring Gruden have been Bizarre. Y is anyone surprised. And for the record that’s the most boring QB room in the league.
The sports media really wants to give this Murray to the Raiders thing legs. Not going to happen. QB class is probably better next year, Raiders will still have 2 firsts. No way they give Carr the hook after last season, too many issues to blame him. And he really didn’t look bad- the lack of any impact players around him is what hurt. Haskins and Murray workouts are due diligence and pressure teams into moving up. Murray goes number 1 anyways.
Save your face paint Oakland fans, get out the paper bags
Gruden has never seen a QB he didn’t think he could make into an actual NFL player. Just in the last year he has sung the praises of Peterman and Christian Hackenberg, LOL!
Chucky’s master plan is to corner the market on AAF caliber QBs….brilliant strategy!
Antonio Brown must be absolutely thrilled with this signing…lol.
Bringing in all the QBs before trading Carr.
