Marques Tuiasosopo was mentioned in trade talks before the NFL draft, but may now be the No. 3 quarterback in Oakland.
Tui will battle Andrew Walter for the backup job behind Aaron Brooks. Walter is believed to be the team's "quarterback of the future" and we wouldn't be surprised if he became the starter this season.
From the Sacramento Bee:
2. Who is the No. 2 QB? - One of the reasons the Raiders didn't draft USC's Matt Leinart is they like second-year pro Andrew Walter, despite the fact he didn't play in one regular-season game in 2005. He had surgery on his left groin in the offseason but is expected to take snaps this weekend. A strong showing could relegate career backup Marques Tuiasosopo to third string and make Aaron Brooks a stopgap before the Walter era begins.
Brooks is a stop gap. Who knows if Walter is the long-term answer, but the one certainty is that we'll find out. Brooks is on one of the shorter leashes in the league.
They didn't pass on Leinart/Cutler to watch Aaron underachieve again with a team full of offensive talent around him.
