The Las Vegas Raiders signed free agent quarterback Nathan Peterman on Tuesday.

Peterman, 30, previously served as a backup to then-Raiders quarterback Derek Carr in 2020 and 2021.

He should be familiar with the Raiders' playbook under offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, who was his offensive coordinator the past two seasons with the Chicago Bears.

Peterman is 1-4 as an NFL starter, completing 53.1 percent of his passes for 712 yards, four touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 15 games with the Buffalo Bills (2017-18), Raiders (2020-21) and Bears (2022-23).

Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell currently are competing for the QB1 job in Las Vegas.

Coach Antonio Pierce said he hopes to decide on a starter following Saturday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Raiders placed wide receiver Keelan Doss on the waived/injured list to make room for Peterman.
