Top John Harbaugh Landing Spots, Ranked

3. Las Vegas Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders are in a rough spot, but they have the pieces to turn things around with a strong offseason. While they finished with the worst record in the league, the Raiders have over $100 million in cap space and the first-overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Once again, this will come down to how John Harbaugh feels about the incoming class of quarterbacks. Geno Smith clearly isn’t the answer, but if Harbaugh believes Fernando Mendoza can be a top-15 quarterback, then this could be the perfect fit.
