Yes - he’s a Raider. He stepped aside in the most amicable way possible given his situation.
He’s seemingly been doing what he can to help AOC. I’m sure Hoyer probably gave him some perspective of “you can either embrace the mentor/back up role, or take the Cam Newton approach and be a Free Agent forever.” I think Jimmy will be a great back up for the next few years.
Let’s put it this way - if we draft a QB, I’d rather have Jimmy G in the QB room with a rookie QB than AOC next year. Not a knock on AOC, just from the veteran presence and intangibles.
