After diving into Fernando Mendoza’s first game at Indiana against Old Dominion, up next in the Las Vegas Raiders’ Mendoza Mania series is the 2026 NFL draft No. 1 pick’s Week 2 performance against Kennesaw State.

Rick Dennison brings experience to Las Vegas Raiders offensive line
The Raiders hired Rick Dennison as the team’s offensive line coach back in February, a move that came with a little question. Denison wasn’t the top choice for the Raiders OL coach position, with Las Vegas attempting to hire others before ultimately deciding to retain Denison as their offensive line coach. HC Klint Kubiak has […]

Potential primetime flex games on Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 schedule
Arguably, the biggest disappointment in the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 schedule release is that they didn’t get any primetime games this season. To be fair, that’s the result of the team going 7-27 over the last two years. However, the NFL’s flex scheduling allows clubs that enter the campaign with low expectations to “play their […]
Best players in Las Vegas Raiders’ history to wear 2026 NFL draft class’ numbers
OTAs are underway for the Las Vegas Raiders, which means Fernando Mendoza and the entire 2026 NFL draft class have their silver and black jerseys on with their rookie numbers.

Why Joe Woods coaching Raiders secondary is key for Rob Leonard
Joe Woods is no stranger to the Silver & Black. The long-time defensive coach was the Oakland Raiders defensive backs coach for one season in 2014 and the 55-year-old returned last season. And now, Woods is the defensive pass game coordinator and defensive backs coach for the Las Vegas variant. In between that time, Woods […]

The 2026 season will tell Klint Kubiak, John Spytek plenty
By all accounts, the Las Vegas Raiders put all their eggs in the Klint Kubiak basket.

What does Las Vegas Raiders’ undrafted free agent pay breakdown tell us about 53-man roster battles?
While just about all undrafted free agent contracts are worth roughly $3.1 million in total value, like any deal in the NFL, the guaranteed money is much more important.
