Christian Ponder, QB
Derek Carr suffered a hand injury in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and it didn’t take long for the Oakland Raiders to reach out to Ponder just weeks after releasing him. Since that time, Oakland has received good news about Carr’s hand injury and don’t plan to bring Ponder aboard.
Of all the backups quarterbacks still unsigned, Ponder is the best of the rest. The Philadelphia Eagles were rumored to be interested in his services the day he was released by Oakland. Even if the Raiders or Eagles don’t sign him, there is a high probability he will end up holding a clipboard on a sideline near you in the near future.
