Aidan O'Connell's disappointing 2025 season came to a fitting end as the Raiders finished 3-14, securing the No. 1 overall pick but leaving little doubt about the quarterback position's immediate future in Las Vegas. O'Connell struggled throughout the year with a 66.3 quarterback rating and 63.2% completion percentage, ranking 22nd and 14th respectively among starters. While the search results don't detail his specific playoff performance, the Raiders' historic collapse and front office's decision to pursue Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza with the top pick signals a clear direction: O'Connell's time in Las Vegas appears finished. With general manager John Spytek promising a "meticulous build" and new coaching staff incoming, HeyTC's #54-ranked quarterback faces an uncertain future as the franchise hits reset on both the roster and quarterback room.
