As the Las Vegas Raiders prepare for the upcoming NFL regular season, the team has decided to bring in another veteran quarterback presumably to add a little bit of depth at the game’s most important position.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Las Vegas Raiders announced that they had signed veteran quarterback Nathan Peterman, bringing him back to the team after he previously spent time with the Raiders from 2018 to 2021.
“We have signed QB Nathan Peterman. In a corresponding move, we have waived/injured WR Keelan Doss, who will revert to the Reserve/Injured list should he clear waivers,” the Las Vegas Raiders said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

Peterman was originally selected in the 2017 NFL Draft as a fifth-round pick by the Buffalo Bills. He has since spent time with the Chicago Bears and the New Orleans Saints in addition to his time with the Raiders.
Obviously, Peterman is not expected to compete for the starting role with both Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell vying for that job, but his signing still led to a lot of reactions on social media.

Though Peterman has spent many years in the NFL, he has only started five career games in six NFL seasons, totaling 712 passing yards with a career completion percentage of 53.1. He has thrown just four touchdowns compared to 13 interceptions.
