The Las Vegas Raiders have heard talk surrounding the possibility of Maxx Crosby being traded this off-season, and possibly when you read this he has been.

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 […]

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 concept of “my guys” is essentially a prospect you would pound the table for and/or someone that you are higher on than the consensus boards. In 2024, some notable prospects for me included Cam Hart, Michael Penix, DJ Glaze, Dylan McMahon, Jalyx Hunt, Graham Barton, Ruke Orhorohoro, and Brandon Dorlus. 2025 saw some notable […]

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 […]

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.
