When the topic is the worst head coach in the history of the Las Vegas Raiders’ franchise, let’s face it, there’s many candidates. For all the good leadership this franchise has had (Tom Flores and John Madden are Pro Football Hall of Famers), there were some rough coaching regimes (especially in recent memory). NFL analyst […]

Where Malcolm Koonce fits in Raiders’ 3-4 defensive front
Another offseason. Another one-year prove-it-type deal. But earning $11 million in 2025 and slated to pocket another $11 million if he plays in all 17 games again, the contract and coin are quite fine for Malcolm Koonce. The Las Vegas Raiders third-round pick in 2021, the 27-year-0ld edge rusher showed the burst and explosion towards […]
Raiders OTAs: Quarterbacks put in work in front of GOAT
Las Vegas Raiders’ part owner Tom Brady reportedly attended Thursday’s OTA session. He reportedly kept a close eye on the offense and the all-time greatest quarterback saw the Raiders’ quarterbacks put in good work in the practice. As expected, veteran Kirk Cousins remained the No. 1 quarterback this week. As was the case last week, […]
How Chase Roberts can make Las Vegas Raiders’ roster as undrafted free agent
The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to have a wide-open competition to fill out the depth chart at wide receiver this summer. After the 2026 NFL draft and offseason as a whole, it’s one of the weakest position groups on the Raiders’ roster, giving undrafted free agent Chase Roberts a chance to earn a spot […]
Submit your Las Vegas Raiders mailbag questions!
I hope everyone is prepping for the dog days of summer, because we are steadily approaching that point of the year! The Las Vegas Raiders are in the midst of OTAs, and mandatory minicamp is around the corner, giving the 2026 NFL draft class and the entire roster some time to get familiar with each […]
Could Raiders make a trade for Josh Sweat?
As we sit in the slow period of the offseason, interesting names pop up from time to time. These are players who could be made available for one reason or another as we prepare for training camp to start. One of these instances occurred this week when NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reported that the Arizona […]
This is a cool thing in Raider Nation
The fans that make up the Raid Nation are a special, unique group this is another example of it. Raiders’ fan Josh Caminite of Les Vegas, whp goes by the moniker of “Vegas Raider Dad” runs a charity that helps kids attend their first Raiders’ game at Allegiant Stadium. The event is every August during […]

Position battles on Las Vegas Raiders’ roster between 2025, 2026 NFL draft classes
It comes with the territory of selecting 21 total players over the last two years, but the Las Vegas Raiders double-dipped at a handful of positions between the 2025 and 2026 NFL drafts. That’s not necessarily a bad roster-building strategy because it leads to competitions in training camp where the cream can rise to the […]
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. You see, Crosby has absolutely tormented the Denver Broncos and their quarterbacks this decade. And now he gets to continue to do […]

What makes Cian Slone candidate to earn roster spot as undrafted free agent with Las Vegas Raiders?
Edge defender is arguably the deepest position group on the Las Vegas Raiders roster, with Maxx Crosby returning, Malcolm Koonce re-signing, Kwity Paye signing in free agency, and Keyron Crawford getting selected in the third round of the 2026 NFL draft. That leaves slim odds for an undrafted free agent to earn a spot in […]
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 […]
Can Brock Bowers win Offensive Player of the Year?
New Las Vegas Raiders’ coach Klint Kubiak was excited about coaching Brock Bowers when he first got his new gig. However, after seeing the third-year superstar tight end work on the practice field in OTA, Kubiak can’t contain his excitement about Bowers. Last week, Kubiak set the internet on fire when gushed about Bowers. Kubiak […]

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?
The Raiders 2023 rookie draft class will play potentially their final season for the Las Vegas Raiders this coming year, and after selected 7 rookies the roster currently only holds three in Tre Tucker (3rd round), Michael Mayer (2nd round), and Aidan O’Connell (4th round) though O’Connell’s roster spot is not a guarantee this season.

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 […]
