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 […]
Shedrick Jackson pushing for Las Vegas Raiders roster
An underrated standout of the Raiders OTA’s & minicamp thus far has been former Auburn standout, and Bo Jackson’s nephew, Shedrick Jackson. Jackson, who will turn 27 in October, is a former UDFA out of Auburn in 2023. Jackson would sign with the Bengals where he spent two seasons bouncing back and forth between the […]

I’ve been talking about it for several weeks now; with the Las Vegas Raiders wrapping up mandatory minicamp last Thursday, we’re officially in the dog days of summer, sitting around and waiting around for training camp to begin at the Intermountain Healthcare Performance Center in Henderson, Nevada.

Best Raiders Statistical Seasons – Offense
This roster isn’t build off who would give the Raiders the best possible roster on the field, but specifically on a year to year basis. For example, while Davante Adams isn’t the best Raiders receiver of all time, his 2022 season certainly is among the best, if not the best, in Raiders history. Additionally, no […]

Some Raiders fans would be OK if Fernando Mendoza doesn’t play until December
Indeed, the biggest question surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 season is and will continue to be when will rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza take over as the starting quarterback. That query will hover over the franchise until the time its announced Mendoza, the No. 1 overall draft pick, takes over the offense. There, of course, […]

Another reason why Klint Kubiak is Raiders’ coach
We all know why Klint Kubiak was hired as the Las Vegas Raiders’ head coach after the events of the 2025 NFL season. The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl last season in large part because of the work Kubiak did as their offensive coordinator. Meanwhile, the las Vegas Raiders fired Pete Carroll and most […]

Where Kwity Paye fits in the Raiders’ 3-4 defensive front
Having started 74 of the 75 career games he’s played over the course of five seasons in the league and inking a rich three-year $48 million contract in free agency, one can safely assume Kwity Paye looms large in the Las Vegas Raiders’ plans this coming season. The 27-year-old Michigan product was one of big-ticket […]

In some ways, Mike McCoy used to be Klint Kubiak’s boss. Now, the roles are reverse and the veteran NFL coach is all about it. McCoy, who has been an NFL coach for 24 seasons and has been a head coach, jumped at the opportunity when Kubiak, a first-time head coach, approached in earlier this […]

Head coach Klint Kubiak versus offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak
Every team in the NFL takes on a big risk when it decides to fire its head coach and hire a new one. There’s no way to predict the future, and organizational decision-makers are forced to rely on each candidate’s resume to pick the right one, making it safer to hire someone with experience at […]

Aldon Smith’s death is a gutting loss
Frankly, I always worried about Aldon Smith. So, Saturday’s sad news that the former NFL star pass-rusher died unexpectedly at the age of 36 hit hard. I can’t say I knew Smith well. However, I did cover him when he was with the San Francisco 49ers in 2013-14 and when he was with the Raiders […]
