Dalton Johnson adds Swiss-army knife to Las Vegas Raiders’ defense via 2026 NFL draft
The Las Vegas Raiders entered the 2026 NFL draft with a thin secondary and added four defensive backs to solve that problem, including former Arizona safety Dalton Johnson.

The battle between Matt Gay, Kansei Matsuzawa shouldn’t be overlooked
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 […]
Raiders Owner Mark Davis inducted into Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame

Raiders roster 2026: Diving into the nose tackle competition
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.

Jalen Nailor tabbed as “underrated” free agent signing by Las Vegas Raiders
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 […]
Klint Kubiak’s history with tight ends bodes well for Brock Bowers
“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.
