Rob Leonard’s vision for Las Vegas Raiders’ defense

The Las Vegas Raiders underwent plenty of changes this offseason, especially on the coaching staff.

Raiders 2026 schedule: They are underdogs a bunch

The Las Vegas Raiders appear to be improved and are poised to make a jump from the team that went 3-14 and had the No. 1 overall pick. Yet, the oddsmakers aren’t overly convinced Las Vegas is ready to make a big leap in terms of winning games. In the opening lines for all 17 […]

Maxx Crosby trade rumors just won’t go away

Undoubtedly, we all have Maxx-Crosby-trade-rumor fatigue, but the reality is it’s not going to go away. After the March agreed upon trade of Crosby at the Baltimore Ravens was nixed by the Ravens, the Crosby trade speculation hasn’t dead. In fact, it has recently ramped up. Reporter Vinny Bonsignore, who has covered the Raiders closely, […]

Rick Dennison brings experience to Las Vegas Raiders offensive line

The Raiders hired Rick Dennison as the team’s offensive line coach back in February, a move that came with a little question. Denison wasn’t the top choice for the Raiders OL coach position, with Las Vegas attempting to hire others before ultimately deciding to retain Denison as their offensive line coach. HC Klint Kubiak has […]

Raiders minicamp: Helmet shield earned

The Las Vegas Raiders players are now fully uniformed. The team began its mandatory minicamp on Tuesday morning and players had the Raiders’ famous shield logo on their helmets.

Early Preview at 2027 NFL Free Agents – Offense

NFL free agency for the 2027 season won’t start till March of well 2027, but the NFL should have a very lucrative free agent class coming forward, and a few players should sign extensions before that time next year, but it’s worth keeping note of who will be available at this point next year.

Potential primetime flex games on Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 schedule

Arguably, the biggest disappointment in the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 schedule release is that they didn’t get any primetime games this season. To be fair, that’s the result of the team going 7-27 over the last two years. However, the NFL’s flex scheduling allows clubs that enter the campaign with low expectations to “play their […]

Best players in Las Vegas Raiders’ history to wear 2026 NFL draft class’ numbers

OTAs are underway for the Las Vegas Raiders, which means Fernando Mendoza and the entire 2026 NFL draft class have their silver and black jerseys on with their rookie numbers. Since the Raiders don’t retire numbers, that means a little more than it does for other organizations, because some players will be wearing the digits […]

Ranking Las Vegas Raiders Draft Picks Since 2022

I was scrolling twitter, and saw a post about ranking every first round pick since 2020, and that gave me a fun idea. The Raiders have made essentially an entire roster full of selections since 2022, taking 42 players with HALF of those coming in rounds 2, 3, and 4. Las Vegas has struggled recently, […]

The Year 2 bar for Raiders wide receiver Jack Bech

Two weeks ago, Klint Kubiak provided insight on how his Las Vegas Raiders would earn their roles over the course of the offseason. “Yeah, we’re counting on them. We’re counting on them to produce for us,” the Raiders head coach responded when asked how important it is for second-year players to make a sophomore leap. […]

Why Joe Woods coaching Raiders secondary is key for Rob Leonard

Joe Woods is no stranger to the Silver & Black. The long-time defensive coach was the Oakland Raiders defensive backs coach for one season in 2014 and the 55-year-old returned last season. And now, Woods is the defensive pass game coordinator and defensive backs coach for the Las Vegas variant. In between that time, Woods […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have had Patrick Graham as the defensive coordinator since 2022.

He kept it in-house by promoting defensive line coach Rob Leonard to take over the […]
