Covering all things Oakland Raiders football
Tom Telesco didn’t accomplish a ton in his one year as the Las Vegas Raiders’ general manager (drafting Brock Bowers will always be a great decision, though), but he had some nice moments. Claiming defensive tackle Jonah Laulu off waivers was certainly one of them. The Las Vegas native was cut by the Indianapolis Colt […]

We’re creeping closer to the 2026 NFL draft with the NFL Combine wrapping up this past weekend. With that, let’s take a look at a few prospects who stood out in Indianapolis and fit the Las Vegas Raiders’ needs. LB Jacob Rodriguez, Texas Tech Rodriguez’s size and, more specifically, his lack of length are a […]
Regardless of what happens with Maxx Crosby this offseason, the Las Vegas Raiders should be looking to add at least one edge defender to the roster. The defense lacked a true difference maker on the other side of Crosby to take some of the pressure off him last year. Also, head coach Klink Kubiak said […]
As Las Vegas Raiders general manager John Spytek said, he expects to keep Maxx Crosby, but will always listen to trade offers. So, with trade speculation surrounding the Raiders’ star pass-rusher still percolating around the league, Silver and Black Pride put on its GM hat and received Crosby trade offers from around our SB Nation […]
The NFL draft is two months away, however, for fans of the Las Vegas Raiders, the drama should be over. The Raiders, of course, own the No. 1 overall pick in the April 23-25 draft. Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman Trophy winner, had been the early favorite to be the team’s pick. But that […]
The Las Vegas Raiders are leaving the NFL scouting combine after checking out all the hottest NFL prospects. Now the Raiders come back to get ready for free agency, but first had to finish creating the coaching staff. On Sunday night, the Raiders announced their full coaching staff.

Peruse a needs list for the Las Vegas Raiders and the top two areas of focus are routinely quarterback and offensive line — and for good reason. The Silver & Black’s quandary at the game’s most important position is well-documented as signal caller is a misadventure. Then there’s the group in front of said quarterback […]
The Las Vegas Raiders are studying prospects at the NFL combine with the hopes of adding young talent to the roster and helping the football team. The quarterback position should be addressed with th first pick, but other positions will be filled with later draft picks on days two and three. The secondary needs a […]
The Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby has been the talk of trade rumors since the end of the season. It all started when the team decided to place him on injured reserve with two games left in the season, a move Crosby was not a fan of. Since that moment, all the talk […]
Combine extended eligibility granted during the COVID-19 pandemic alongside Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) coin and opportunities and it’s no surprise the scouting landscape changed for many NFL teams. Add the wrinkle of the Transfer Portal into that mix and prospects are staying in college longer resulting in “older” draft eligible players entering the NFL […]
The Las Vegas Raiders have been in the news this week during the NFL Combine, as new head coach Klint Kubiak told reporters that defensive coordinator Rob Leonard will be running a 3-4 defense next season. That’s a big focus for this week’s mailbag, as well as free agency and the 2026 NFL draft. So, […]
Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee at the beginning of January. On Friday, Feb. 27, Crosby shared an update on his rehab via the video posted on social media seen below, where the five-time Pro Bowler announced that he no longer needs crutches […]
NFL Scouting Combine season is a great time for nuggets of information. All 32 teams descend upon Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis to get an up-close look-see at the 2026 NFL Draft prospects and it’s often a place where the squads talk business. For the Las Vegas Raiders, it was an opportunity for both second-year […]
The Las Vegas Raiders have plenty of avenues they can go down with the 36th overall pick of the 2026 NFL draft, partially because the defense has plenty of holes that need to be filled. One of the Raiders’ biggest needs is at safety, putting Oregon’s Dillon Thieneman on general manager John Spytek’s radar. Conveniently, […]
The concept of “my guys” is essentially a prospect you would pound the table for and/or someone that you are higher on than the consensus boards. In 2024, some notable prospects for me included Cam Hart, Michael Penix, DJ Glaze, Dylan McMahon, Jalyx Hunt, Graham Barton, Ruke Orhorohoro, and Brandon Dorlus. 2025 saw some notable […]
It’s the NFL Combine week so, with that in mind, we spent our Tuesday Community Question topic on it as we asked our community members what they most looking forward to this week. Here are some of your responses: netslevel1 Brazell 40 will jump him in the 1st round. Similar ish build to Thorton….but like […]
The Las Vegas Raiders are at the NFL combine to study the whole draft. However, it is pretty much set in stone who they have in mind for the number one pick in the draft. That man is Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza, the quarterback out of Indiana. Mendoza had a breakout season in 2025, […]
Let’s look at the Las Vegas Raiders 2026 unrestricted free agents and whether the team should retain them: Do it now: Dan Carlson, Eric Stokes Stokes is the bigger priority. Raiders general manager John Spytek has said the team has been in contact with the cornerback and they’d like him back. The Raiders have the […]
While their is much excitement hat the Las Vegas Raiders’ offense will take a major step forward in 2026 with the additions of new head coach Klint Kubiak and the expected drafting of Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

The failures of the short-lived Pete Carroll era for the Las Vegas Raiders have already been well-documented, and the NFLPA survey results are not doing last year’s coaching staff any favors. ESPN’s Kalyn Kahler obtained the results, which were voted on by players on NFL rosters from Nov. 22 to Dec. 11, and the Raiders […]
Klint Kubiak is re-energizing Raider Nation as the new Las Vegas Raiders head coach. And for good reason. Kubiak represents a beacon of hope for a football team that featured one of the worst offenses the storied franchise witness in 2025. The incompetence rivals the Bed & Breakfast offense way back in 2006 and was […]
At the NFL Combine, new Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak told reporters that the defense will shift to a 3-4 base under recently promoted defensive coordinator Rob Leonard. With Patrick Graham running the unit, the Raiders used odd fronts (which is what a “3-4 defense” really means in the modern NFL), but it […]
