Cam Miller faced setbacks as the Raiders waived him, but luck turned in his favor as he rejoined on the Vegas practice squad.
The young quarterback from North Dakota State, a standout at the FCS level, found himself in a whirlwind of emotions this week. After being cut by the Raiders, he was re-signed to their practice squad, securing a $234,000 deal for the season at $13,000 per week.
Initially surprising, the decision to waive Miller seemed to pay off for the Raiders, as he passed through waivers unclaimed. Despite missing out on the 53-man roster, his return as a developmental QB showcases the team’s belief in his potential.
Miller’s athleticism and skills make him a promising prospect, even coming from a lower college football tier. With the Raiders opting for a veteran backup instead, Miller’s journey highlights the competitive nature of the NFL.
While the setback of being cut initially may have been tough for Miller, his resilience and dedication have now earned him a second chance to prove himself in the league. The twist of fate sees him back in the mix, ready to seize any opportunity that comes his way.
