Around this time two years ago, Christian Wilkins was the Las Vegas Raiders’ prized free agent signing, inking a four-year, $110 million contract.

The Las Vegas Raiders’ roster needed some talent at wide receiver heading into the offseason, leading the Raiders to sign Jalen Nailor from the Minnesota Vikings to a three-year, $35 million contract during free agency.

This was not unexpected. Bummer for you, Baltimore Ravens, but you’re on the poo-poo list of many Las Vegas Raiders’ fans. That’s what you get.

The Las Vegas Raiders needed a lot of help at linebacker heading into free agency, leading the front office to add former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean to the roster.

It’s quiet, too quiet. Then again, that’s not always a bad thing when it comes to the Las Vegas Raiders, and they made enough noise last week to last for a while. With free agency calming down, we now have a better idea of what the Raiders’ roster will look like heading into next season […]

But they still have some needs to address on the line, potentially even after signing potential […]
