Matt LaFleur

Top Matt LaFleur Landing Spots, Ranked

4. Las Vegas Raiders

The most important part of any rebuild is the quarterback position, and the Raiders will have their pick of the litter in 2026. Armed with the first-overall pick and over $88.9 million in cap space, Vegas has the opportunity to reinvent itself if it makes the right moves in the offseason.

Don’t be mistaken, there is a lot of work to be done for this team. However, Matt LaFleur could welcome the opportunity to rebuild a team in his image from the ground up. Vegas has the resources to do this and becomes an exponentially better fit if LaFleur believes in either of the two big-name quarterback prospects.
