Latest news and updates about the Raiders
Tre Tucker has been a starting wide receiver for more than the past season and a half. And, frankly, he hasn’t produced nearly as much as he should. Yes, the third-round pick in 2023 had had his moment and he does possess game-breaking speed, but he has struggled to produce on a consistent basis despite […]
If the Jacksonville Jaguars were to submit a trade offer for Las Vegas Raiders five-time Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby, what would it look like? That’s the question I asked myself when Bill Williamson of Silver & Black Pride requested mock proposals from SB Nation’s group of site managers. Today, we’ll discuss what a […]
While the defensive front is of primary concern, putting the secondary on the backburner is unwise for the Las Vegas Raiders. Sure, getting defenders that suit new defensive coordinator Rob Leonard’s 3-4 base defensive front is of utmost importance — namely getting more teeth to the pass rush that featured Maxx Crosby as the lone […]
Last season, the Las Vegas Raiders ranked 25th in the NFL with just eight interceptions. A big reason is that the roster lacked a true free safety who could patrol the backend of the defense and take the ball away. That makes the position one of Las Vegas’ needs this offseason, but help could be […]
The 2026 NFL free agent class is loaded at linebacker this off-season, the top options such as Demario Davis, Devin Lloyd, Nakobe Dean, Devin Bush, Leo Chenal, and Quay Walker are talked about consistently. Additionally, Bears linebacker Tremaine Edmunds has been listed as a possible trade target. That said, the class is loaded top to […]
In his second season as the Las Vegas Raiders’ general manager, John Spytek could sign some players he was worked with for Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Here are some current Tampa Bay free agents (Spytek could also look at former Tampa Bay players who are on other teams like he did last year): LaVonte David: The […]
The below image is the kickoff to the future of the Las Vegas Raiders and it will define the Tom Brady-John Spytek era. It was a week after the Raiders parted ways with coach Pete Carroll, ending the one-year Carroll-Spytek era and the Raiders’ brass went to Miami to watch quarterback Fernando Mendoza lead Indiana […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Raiders fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. The Las Vegas Raiders are getting ready for the start of free agency, hoping to build […]
The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to have 10 picks in the April 23-25 NFL draft. They currently are projected to have amongst the most salary-cap room in the league when free agency starts next week. The Raiders are expected to be very active and they have many holes to fill and they want to […]
New head coach, new offensive line, and a new unified direction. That’s the gist of Klint Kubiak earning the Las Vegas Raiders coaching gig and him tabbing longtime Kubiak-tree branch Rick Dennison as the boss of the trenches. Together, the duo is set to install and drill a zone blocking scheme influenced by Alex Gibbs, […]
Last week, we shared with you an exercise that Silver and Black Pride, SB Nation’s Las Vegas Raiders site, was doing regarding Maxx Crosby. They asked for websites from the other NFL teams to submit offers for Crosby, and they would pick the best one. If you would like to see all the offers that […]
The Raiders have a need at linebacker, and relatively speaking, they have had such need for nearly the last decade. The 2026 NFL Off-season is loaded with linebacker talent between free agency and the NFL draft. The Raiders will likely let Devin White hit free agency this off-season after he played highly inconsistent in 2025 […]
Rob Leonard has been selected by new Las Vegas Raiders’ head coach as his defensive coordinator and it is the most important assistant in the staff. And many Raiders fans are totally on board with the promotion of Leonard. He spent the past three seasons as the team’s defensive line coach. We recently asked our […]
Tom Telesco didn’t accomplish a ton in his one year as the Las Vegas Raiders’ general manager (drafting Brock Bowers will always be a great decision, though), but he had some nice moments. Claiming defensive tackle Jonah Laulu off waivers was certainly one of them. The Las Vegas native was cut by the Indianapolis Colt […]
The Los Angeles Rams adding Maxx Crosby is a big “if” but there is a chance that Crosby forces himself out of business with the Las Vegas Raiders, and nothing is certain, but a trade of Crosby wouldn’t be a surprise at this point. If Crosby is to be moved, the Rams wouldn’t be the […]
Fernando Mendoza MUST say NO to Raiders! Colts need edge & LB in free agency! Why IU is reeling
Regardless of what happens with Maxx Crosby this offseason, the Las Vegas Raiders should be looking to add at least one edge defender to the roster. The defense lacked a true difference maker on the other side of Crosby to take some of the pressure off him last year. Also, head coach Klink Kubiak said […]
Eagles GM Howie Roseman set expectations low for splashy free agency moves this offseason, but the team is still keeping their options open, including keeping an eye on Maxx Crosby’s situation in Las Vegas, according to Albert Breer. ”We should know soon enough which path the Raiders are taking, with teams like Dallas, Chicago, Baltimore, […]
As Las Vegas Raiders general manager John Spytek said, he expects to keep Maxx Crosby, but will always listen to trade offers. So, with trade speculation surrounding the Raiders’ star pass-rusher still percolating around the league, Silver and Black Pride put on its GM hat and received Crosby trade offers from around our SB Nation […]
The NFL draft is two months away, however, for fans of the Las Vegas Raiders, the drama should be over. The Raiders, of course, own the No. 1 overall pick in the April 23-25 draft. Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman Trophy winner, had been the early favorite to be the team’s pick. But that […]
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer said in his Monday morning column, “I’d lean toward a Maxx Crosby trade happening, and maybe this week.” As far as compensation, Breer said it’s unlikely the Las Vegas Raiders receive the haul they got for Khalil Mack eight years ago, what the Dallas Cowboys got for Micah Parsons last year, […]
The Las Vegas Raiders are leaving the NFL scouting combine after checking out all the hottest NFL prospects. Now the Raiders come back to get ready for free agency, but first had to finish creating the coaching staff. On Sunday night, the Raiders announced their full coaching staff. It was filled with names that were […]
The first coaching staff for the Las Vegas Raiders under new head coach Klint Kubiak is now set, and the former Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator didn’t exactly have too many of his fellow Seahawks assistants join him in the desert. Apart from Kubiak, the only other members of the Seahawks’ Super Bowl winning staff to […]
With the new football season approaching, we welcome Matt Holder of Silver and Black Pride — our sister SBNation site covering the Las Vegas Raiders — for Five Questions with the Enemy. 1. How much of the Raiders’ offseason strategy hinges on the quarterback decision, and does every other move take a backseat until that’s […]
Peruse a needs list for the Las Vegas Raiders and the top two areas of focus are routinely quarterback and offensive line — and for good reason. The Silver & Black’s quandary at the game’s most important position is well-documented as signal caller is a misadventure. Then there’s the group in front of said quarterback […]
