Raiders fans talk their favorite jersey numbers
We love talking about the Raiders’ rich history during our Tuesday Community Question series. Thi week, we asked readers to give us their favorite jersey numbers. Like so many of our question, it was open ended. We want you to express your feelings based on your thoughts not a set rule of engagement. People like […]
Raiders fans not too worried about unsigned rookies
The Las Vegas Raiders rookies report to training camp in 13 days and yet two of their 10 member 2026 draft class remain unsigned. Yet, many Raiders fans are not worried about it. I agree. Las Vegas has yet to sign first-round pick (and No. 1 overall choice) quarterback Fernando Mendoza and fourth-round pick, cornerback […]

Pro Football Focus has been known over the past 20 years as the premier data-based football website avaialble. Some people give it more credence than others, but there player grading system is paid attention to be many. They recently released their All-time PFF team during its existence and there are several former Raiders’ players who […]

How Tommy Eichenberg, Cody Lindenberg become more than special teamers
For the longest time, I asked this question in jest: Which position group will the Silver & Black fix first: Linebacker or quarterback? The reason for the tongue-in-cheek query should be obvious. Outside of some fleeting moments here and there, the Las Vegas Raiders conundrum at the two position groups remained ever-present. This offseason, however, […]
Where does Las Vegas Raiders’ Eric Stokes rank among AFC West cornerbacks?
One of the few pleasant surprises from the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster last season was the emergence of free-agent signing/cornerback Eric Stokes. He went from being a first-round bust with the Green Bay Packers to becoming the Raiders’ No. 1 cornerback, giving Las Vegas’ secondary some credibility when it comes to the position rankings in […]
Las Vegas Raiders 2026 Defensive Wildcards
The Las Vegas Raiders are set to start training camp within the next month, and as they gear up for an interesting 2026 season, a few players and/or position groups can really make or break the season. The Raiders added a plethora of talent over the last off-season, with the Raiders likely to only return […]
Submit your Las Vegas Raiders mailbag questions!
We’re two weeks away from the Las Vegas Raiders starting training camp, as rookies will report on July 23. So the return of Raiders’ football is on the horizon. But this also means we have a couple of weeks to get those last few questions about the roster or whatever else you can think of […]
Raiders fans want Aidan O’Connell on 53-man roster
We will see if Aidan O’Connell will remain in the quarterback room for the Las Vegas Raiders this season when the 53-man roster is set. But many Raiders’ fans believe the fourth-year player will, indeed, be part of the squad as we asked in a FEED post poll recently. He has been the subject of […]
Raiders need to get closer to league punting average
Yes, AJ Cole is a sublime punting talent and he’s fun to watch. But we need to see him play less this season. The average number of punts in an NFL game is down acr0ss the league. But not in Las Vegas. A recent post on X by NFL analyst (and former Raiders’ employee) Ryan […]

Jalen Nailor’s performance will be good barometer of Klint Kubiak
As the chief offensive play caller, how Klint Kubiak maximizes wide receiver Jalen Nailor will say a lot about the head coach’s prowess. Inking a three-year, $35.03 million contract, with $23 million guaranteed ($18 million at signing) with the Las Vegas Raiders, the Silver & Black paid a pretty penny to bring the Nevada native […]
The Technique & Analytics of Rob Leonard’s Las Vegas Raiders Defense
The Las Vegas Raiders are shifting to a 3-4 base defense, though I doubt they will be sitting out of base defense for most of the season, and if that if they will even be in the 3-4 system all that often. Matt Holder recently published an article breaking down the plan for Rob Leonard […]
Revisiting the drafting of Brock Bowers
Tom Telesco had pretty uneventful one-year stint as the general manager of the Las Vegas Raiders before he was ousted in 2025. But Telesco will always have a fingerprint on the franchise because he was the guy who brought Brock Bowers to Las Vegas. Bowers has a chance to go down as an all-time great […]
Is it time to worry about Fernando Mendoza and Jermod McCoy being unsigned?
The Las Vegas Raiders rookies report to training camp in 15 days and yet two of their 10 member 2026 draft class remain unsigned. Las Vegas has yet to sign first-round pick (and No. 1 overall choice) quarterback Fernando Mendoza and fourth-round pick, cornerback Jermod McCoy. There are currently less than 10 unsigned draft pick […]
Will Raiders rookie Treydan Stukes start Week 1?
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 made a ton of moves to improve the defense for 2026. Defense […]
Can Raiders’ new kicker deliver the long bomb?
One of the biggest storylines for the Las Vegas Raiders when training camp begins later this month will be the kicking battle between newly signed veteran Matt Gay and undrafted rookie Kansei Matsuzawa. The battle will play out in both training camp and in the three preseason games as they battle to replace Daniel Carlson. […]

Where do new Las Vegas Raiders linebackers Nakobe Dean, Quay Walker rank in AFC West?
Last season, the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster had a glaring weakness at linebacker, hence the signing of veterans Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker during free agency. The Raiders shelled out over $75 million in total contract value between those two to fix the defense’s problem, but is that enough for the defense to have a […]
2025 Las Vegas Raiders Same Position Re-Draft
The Raiders 2025 draft class only has played one season, so identifying which players could or could not be replaced here is a little bit different than my previous editions. Players have either under, or over performed and plenty of players are still developing after being selected as pure developmental prospects. Ashton Jeanty is a […]
Fans are split on Jack Bech expectations
One of the more interesting players to watch on the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 roster will be second-year wide receiver Jack Bech. The 2025 second-round pick had an up-and-down rookie season and frankly, it was probably more disappointing than anything. He had just 20 catches for 224 yards all season. Yet, the Raiders’ leadership have […]
Raiders fans would love to add Vita Vea
Vita Vea wearing the Silver and Black? Yes, please. That’s the sentiment of the Las Vegas Raiders’ fan base. We recently asked our readers would they want the Raiders to pursue Vea, the star defensive tackle of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a recent post. The results were overwhelmingly in favor of the idea. That […]
Remembering a special season by Maxx Crosby
The Las Vegas Raiders’ 2021 season was unforgettable for so many reasons. Perhaps lost in the chaos of the Jon Gruden email scandal and Henry Ruggs arrest and release was a historic on-field performance by then third-year pass-rusher Maxx Crosby. He was simply brilliant, especially when it counted. A recent X post by NFL researcher […]

Would Maxx Crosby-George Pickens trade make sense for Las Vegas Raiders, Dallas Cowboys?
The Maxx Crosby trade rumors haven’t stopped, as he’s clearly the hottest commodity on the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster heading into training camp. Of course, being in the “slow news period” of the NFL calendar leads to a lot of hypothetical trades that don’t mean much. But the one below that was proposed by 105.3 […]
