Matt McGloin

Go.

Matt McGloin was given the perfect opportunity to finally creep from out the shadows of Derek Carr, when Oakland’s franchise quarterback went down for the season on Christmas Eve.

After escaping with a narrow win against Indianapolis, McGloin was the named the starter for the season finale, and he completely folded in that game against the Denver Broncos. With even a decent performance, McGloin could have increased interest in his services.

In regard to his time with the Raiders, while third-string quarterback Connor Cook is flawed, he is young, with poise and potential. Cook will be the backup next season.

But there are teams out there in need of a QB, and McGloin should be free to test the waters. Maybe someone will bite.
