Las Vegas Raiders Offensive Positional Battles to Watch
The Las Vegas Raiders don’t break for training camp for another 6 weeks, but their has already been positional battles to start, and to be talked about. The Raiders coming off a 3-14 season are not going to pencil in their starters, there’s a lot of youth, and with that a lot of unproven talent. […]
Are you in favor of Raiders signing Stefon Diggs?
Recently, ESPN tabbed the Las Vegas Raiders as a “no brainer” landing spot for free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The hypothetical pairing is easy to understand. The Raiders, on paper, appear to have a need to add a wide receiver and Diggs is the best available player at the position. There is little doubt Diggs, […]
A Raider made world history 5 years ago
Sunday marked a five-year anniversary of a landmark day in sports history.

Mistakes will happen, it’s how Klint Kubiak corrects them that’s key
At this point of the offseason, it’s sunshine and rainbows for the Las Vegas Raiders. The team landed a much-hyped young offensive mind in Klint Kubiak to helm the team. Alongside general manager John Spytek, the head coach and chief personnel man rolled up their collective sleeves to build a roster via free agency and […]
Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza is different than his media persona
The Las Vegas Raiders had the number one pick in the draft and used it on a potential franchise quarterback. Fernando Mendoza was the pick and has raised Raider Nation’s hopes for the future. It was the first time the franchise had taken a quarterback in the first round since 2007. John Spytek and his […]
Raider Nation has faith Tre Tucker will reach 1,000 yards
The Las Vegas Raiders are deploying a brand-new offense for the third season in a row. This time, it is new head coach Klint Kubiak who will be leading the way, with his last offense helping the Seattle Seahawks win the Super Bowl. With Kubiak helping Jaxson Smith-Njigba lead the league in receiving, the question […]
An early look at who can reignite the Raiders’ long dormant return game
The 2011 and 2018 seasons. That’s the last time the Silver & Black had a kick return and punt return touchdowns, respectively. Jacoby Ford’s 101-yard house call against the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 11, 2011 and Dwyane Harris’ heads-up 99-yard end zone visit against the Denver Broncos on Dec. 24, 2018 were the said scoring […]

Stefon Diggs named ‘no-brainer’ signing for Las Vegas Raiders by ESPN

But there are a handful of veteran receiver options still available who could fill the need and give rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza […]
How tight end Michael Mayer fits, helps Klint Kubiak’s Raiders’ offense
Much of the attention is on Brock Bowers. And for good reason. Dubbed as a “football robot from heaven” by head coach Klint Kubiak, the Las Vegas Raiders tight end reached elite status after a stellar initial season in the NFL where Bowers set a rookie record with 112 receptions (for 1,194 yards and five […]

What’s Aidan O’Connell’s mindset heading into 2026 season as Las Vegas Raiders’ 3rd-string quarterback?
Aidan O’Connell has bounced up and down the Las Vegas Raiders’ depth chart pretty much from the moment he was drafted. When the 2023 fourth-round pick was first added to the Raiders’ roster, he was the third-string quarterback behind Jimmy Garoppolo and Brian Hoyer. But after a strong preseason, while the other two quarterbacks struggled […]
Pure pass rusher an apt role for rookie Keyron Crawford
Now here’s a name for old-school Raider Nation: Lance Johnstone. A second-round selection (57th overall) by the Oakland Raiders back in the 1996 NFL Draft, the Temple product transitioned from collegiate linebacker to a pure pass-rushing defensive end. And the 6-foot-4 and 250-pound Philadelphia native parlayed his role as a situational/rotational quarterback hunter into 72 […]
