Could Raiders make a trade for Josh Sweat?

Easiest stretches on Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 schedule

Now that the Las Vegas Raiders officially have their 2026 schedule set, it’s time to start circling which games should be wins for the Silver and Black. To be honest, there aren’t many stretches or even back-to-back games where the Raiders have favorable matchups. Playing two of the best divisions in the NFL, the AFC […]

When is the best time to play Fernando Mendoza?

The topic of when the Las Vegas Raiders will start rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza has been a topic long before the team even drafted him. Both Raiders’ head coach Klint Kubiak and general manager John Spytek have said, in an ideal world, rookie quarterbacks would be given time to be groomed before playing. Thus, it […]

Maxx Crosby is a Broncos’ killer

When the Baltimore Ravens nixed the Maxx Crosby trade four days after agreeing to terms with the Las Vegas Raiders in March, there was likely a collective groan in the state of Colorado.

Las Vegas Raiders 2023 Rookies Standing for 2026

The Las Vegas Raiders had a rather underwhelming draft class in 2023, when reflecting on it heading into their fourth seasons. EDGE Tyree Wilson amassed just 12 sacks, 91 tackles, and 17 TFL in 50 games. Michael Mayer was quickly placed as a second TE after drafting franchise cornerstone Brock Bowers in the first round […]

Raiders 2027 free-agent class is pretty meager

For the second year in the row, it appears that the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2027 free-agent class will be less than impressive. Thus, there aren’t many perspective high-priority pending free agents. Of course, things can change if a player has a huge 2026 season. But, for now, there doesn’t appear to be many pressing contracts […]

Raiders roster 2026: What if Malik Benson is good as a rookie?

There is a lot of excitement about Las Vegas Raiders’ sixth-round pick, wide receiver Malik Benson. He has big speed and many scouts believe the Oregon product is ready to make an impact in the NFL. So, what if Benson truly is ready? The Raiders will likely keep five or six wide receivers on the […]

New Las Vegas Raiders’ coach Klint Kubiak was excited about coaching Brock Bowers when he first got his new gig.

The Year 2 bar for Raiders offensive tackle Charles Grant

On athletic profile alone, Charles Grant is an ideal schematic for for Rick Dennison’s Las Vegas Raiders offensive line. The wide-zone system that the crafty veteran offensive line coach is installing in the desert requires agile, light-footed, and horizontally mobile linemen. Grant, the Silver & Black’s third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft (99th overall) […]

Las Vegas Raiders 2023 Draft Class: Re-Sign or Walk?

Raiders defense hinges on Ronell Williams’ linebackers

We’ve written plenty about the need for a nose tackle and why the slot cornerback in nickel alignments is vital for Rob Leonard’s Las Vegas Raiders defense. A lot of the success (or lack thereof) the Silver & Black will have defensively hinges on those two key position groups. But much of Leonard’s aspirations hinges […]

Raiders OT Kolton Miller sees the standard higher for the OL

The Las Vegas Raiders offensive line was one of the worst in the league in 2025. It has been a topic of discussion during the offseason, with the plan to draft a QB. Rick Dennison was brought in to lead the group back to competence. It led the team to sign Tyler Linderbaum to a […]

Nickel cornerback a vital position for Raiders’ defense

Taron Johnson’s reported contract impasse with the Las Vegas Raiders bears watching. While these type of things do occur on the business side of football, Johnson’s absence is minor as the Silver & Black embarked on offseason team activities (OTAs). All teams have 10 sessions of this nature and no live contact is allowed. Where […]
