Shedeur Sanders is expected to be an early first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. One team that could potentially snag him is the Las Vegas Raiders, and owner Mark Davis seems to favor the idea.
Recently, the WNBA team in Las Vegas, the Aces, hosted the New York Liberty in a playoff game, and both Davis and Shedeur were in attendance.
At one point, the two would share a moment caught on video. In the conversation, you can hear Davis say, “Who knows? You might be home right now.” Sanders did not seem to hate the idea as he kept smiling throughout the rest of the conversation.
Of course, the Raiders are in major need of a quarterback reset, with Garnder Minshew and Aiden O’Connell leading the group right now.
As of now, Mishew has started all four games for the Raiders and could only be described as mediocre. He has completed 87 of 123 passes for 877 yards, three touchdowns, three interceptions, and an 88.7 passer rating.

If their selection is Sanders, it would be the first time the team has drafted a quarterback in the first round since 2007, when they took JaMarcus Russell, who turned into one of the biggest busts ever.
Mark Davis Has A Losing Record With The Raiders
Mark Davis originally took over as the Raiders owner in 2011. Since then, the team has performed poorly.
In his fourteenth season, the Raiders have an 89-126 record and nine losing seasons compared to just four .500 or winning seasons.
Since then, Las Vegas has also made the playoffs only twice and has lost in the Wild Card round both times.
Maybe a player like Shedeur can change the trajectory of what has been one of the worst franchises in the last ten years.
