We know the opponents the Kansas City Chiefs will face during the 2026 regular season, and aside from the ever hated division rivalries like the Denver Prostrated Peyton’s Broncos and the Las Vegas Brady Simps Raiders (we also play the Los Angeles Chargers twice, if you care about that sort of thing), the Chiefs face […]

At the Las Vegas Raiders’ recent rookie minicamp there was tangible evidence that there is, at least, a chance that cornerback Jermod McCoy will be ready to play during the 2026 season. McCoy, a fourth-round pick from Tennessee, was limited in practice during the minicamp. McCoy who tumbled in the draft due to health concerns. […]
The Las Vegas Raiders owner has had a busy weekend, with the Las Vegas Aces ring ceremony and induction into the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame. He has become a staple in the Vegas area, but the original reason he moved there hasn’t been as successful. The Raiders have a 39-62 record since moving […]
The battle is simple in concept: The grizzled aging veteran looking to recapture former glory versus an intriguing and accurate (but older) undrafted free agent. That’s the easiest way to sum up the upcoming Las Vegas Raiders kicking competition between Matt Gay and Kansei Matsuzawa. But the battle between the 32-year-old Gay and 27-year-old Matsuzawa […]
The Las Vegas Raiders owner, Mark Davis, took over the franchise back in 2011 after the death of his father. While the team has only seen two winning seasons during his tenure, Davis has increased the organization’s value with the move to Las Vegas.

Where’s the beef? The classic line from the old-school 1980s Wendy’s commercial is quite apt for the Las Vegas Raiders as the team embarks on the upcoming 2026 campaign. Because that statement can be directly linked to the Silver & Black’s nose tackle spot — a position that has elevated importance due to defensive coordinator […]
Excitement is still high surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 NFL draft class, but the Raiders’ roster still has a few holes. That’s one of our focuses for this week’s mailbag, as well as beginning to look ahead at the upcoming season. Q: What is the weakest link on the defense currently (position, not player), […]
The Las Vegas Raiders raised some eyebrows during free agency by signing former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor to a three-year, $35.03 million contract. Nearly $12 million a year is a hefty price tag for a wideout who has never had more than 30 catches and 450 yards in a single season. Granted, not […]
“Brock Bowers is WR1”. That’s the popular retort when the topic of the Las Vegas Raiders lacking a true top wide receiver when Klint Kubiaks offense is discussed. Bowers does provide the Silver & Black an elite, position-versatile playmaker at tight end. And it’s that hybrid nature of what the 23-year-old brings to the table […]
While the Las Vegas Raiders used the sixth overall selection on running back Ashton Jeanty last year, the offense headed into the 2026 NFL draft needing to find a complement for Jeanty in the backfield.

The Las Vegas Raiders seemingly got the biggest steal of the 2026 NFL draft, adding former Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy to the roster at the top of the fourth round.

The 2027 NFL Free Agency period will kick off on March 10th with the negotiation window starting the 7th. It’s a long time till we have to see some Raiders free agents make their move to another team, but for now it’s good to know what could be in the future for the Raiders extension […]
Mendoza mania is officially underway in Las Vegas, as the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL draft, quarterback Fernando Mendoza, has completed his first few practices with the Las Vegas Raiders during rookie minicamp.

The Las Vegas Raiders had ample opportunity to bolster the wide receiver room this offseason. First came free agency in mid-March and the Silver & Black inked Jalen Nailor and Dareke Young. The pair of wide receiver additions did little to move the needle for many. So much so, we questioned should the Raiders add […]
