Benito Jones helps, but Raiders’ long-term nose tackle plan is a concern
Weighing in at 335 pounds, Benito Jones is one of the heaviest players on the Las Vegas Raiders roster. And that’s a good thing. The 6-foot-1 defensive tackle provides the requisite mass to both draw attention from multiple blockers and be a run-stuffing presence in the middle of the Silver & Black defensive line as […]
Writing might be on the wall for Raiders WR Dont’e Thornton
The Las Vegas drafted two wide receivers last season who got a chance to see the field in 2025. Fourth-round pick Donte Thornton Jr. got to see the field the most, but his lack of production led to him falling down the depth chart by the end of the season. Thornton Jr. was always a […]
Mailbag: Which wide receiver on Las Vegas Raiders’ roster will break out this season?
Let’s kick off this week’s Las Vegas Raiders mailbag with a big happy birthday to the United States of America and Al Davis! I hope everyone has a great day celebrating with their friends and family, but first, we have to answer some questions about the Raiders’ roster! Nunchucks Hey Matt!…Which WR do you think […]
Happy Birthday, Al
The great, late Al Davis was born 97 years ago today. Happy birthday, legend, and Happy 4th of July to all.
Reserve, sub package role likely best route for Raiders’ Isaiah Pola-Mao
There was only one defender that had more snaps for the Las Vegas Raiders defense than safety Isaiah Pola-Mao. That was linebacker Devin White at 1,118 snaps in 2025 and that total accounts for nearly 100 percent (99.38 percent to be exact) of the team’s defensive snaps last season. Pola-Mao, in comparison, notched 1,081 snaps […]
2023 Las Vegas Raiders Same Position Re-Draft
The 2023 draft class, Dave Ziegler’s and Josh McDaniels first class with a full season of preparation, and the second class I was able to predict their first round pick (thankfully I stopped being able to do that after this season). The class features a few players still on the roster as is, and a […]
Has Nik Bonitto overtaken Maxx Crosby as best edge defender in AFC West?
We’re on the defensive side of the ball in Silver and Black Pride’s AFC West position rankings, starting with arguably the most important spot when it comes to keeping points off the board: edge defender. Despite finishing in last place over the last two seasons, this is one position group where the Las Vegas Raiders’ […]
Raiders are confident Darien Porter will make the leap in 2026
The Las Vegas Raiders are to deploy one of the younger defenses in years. In 2024, they drafted players like Darien Porter and Tonka Hemingway. For the 2026 NFL draft, it became a focus as they added Treydan Stukes, Keyron Crawford, and Jermod McCoy. If the Raiders could hit on these picks, it could lead […]

Does Las Vegas Raiders’ roster have Top 5 defensive tackle in AFC West?
Defensive tackle is one of the weakest position groups on the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster heading into the 2026 season, begging the question of whether the Raiders have a Top 5 interior defender in the AFC West. What gives Las Vegas hope is that the Denver Broncos’, Kansas City Chiefs’ and Los Angeles Chargers’ rosters […]
2022 Las Vegas Raiders Same Position Re-Draft
The Raiders 2022 draft class could have been a lot better, but that also seems to be the running theme in general here. The Raiders shipped off their first and second round selections for Davante Adams, and then they shipped him off a few years late. The first class for “new” GM Dave Ziegler and […]
Fernando Mendoza versus UCLA, Part VIII of Las Vegas Raiders’ Mendoza Mania
We’re at the halfway point of Silver and Black Pride’s Mendoza Mania series, breaking down the film on every game of Fernando Mendoza’s final College Football season at Indiana, diving into his eighth contest of the year with a matchup against UCLA. This certainly wasn’t the No. 1 pick of the 2026 NFL draft’s best […]
Raiders roster 2026: Remaining free agent
Training camp begins later this month. Let’s take a summer recap on the Las Vegas Raiders’ free-agent picture. Re-signed with Raiders as unrestricted free agents: Cornerback Eric Stokes, pass-rusher Malcolm Koonce, tight end Ian Thomas, Departed Raiders in free agency: Quarterback Kenny Pickett (Panthers), Stone Forsythe (Panthers), defensive back Lonnie Johnson (Dolphins), guard Dylan Parham […]
Are Raiders overpaying their roster?
The Las Vegas Raiders’ brass can’t be accused of being cheap in the 2026 offseason in an attempt to rebuild (quickly) a bad roster. Led by general manager John Spytek, Las Vegas was an early spending spree n free agency, adding several high cost free agents to add to their roster. So, when that happens […]

Where Jackson Powers-Johnson fits best on the Raiders’ offensive line
The performance of the offensive line this coming season will dictate much off the success (or lack thereof) the Las Vegas Raiders have in Klint Kubiak’s initial season as an NFL head coach. It’s a starting five where the other skill positions on Kubiak’s offense relies on them being quality and getting the job done. […]
Will Raiders cornerback Darien Porter make the leap?
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 to deploy one of the younger defenses in years. In 2024, […]
Las Vegas Raiders’ 2022 draft class, where are Zamir White and Co. now?
The Las Vegas Raiders’ 2022 NFL draft class was limited to just six picks, all in the third round or later, as the Raiders sent their first- and second-rounders to the Green Bay Packers to acquire wide receiver Davante Adams. So, for this addition of “Where are they now?“, we’ll take a look at the […]
Don’t discount Aidan O’Connell being on 53-man roster
Aidan O’Connell has been portrayed as the the lost piece in the Las Vegas Raiders’ quarterback picture. He has been the subject of trade speculation all offseason and the reasoning is obvious. There is no apparent future for the 2023 fourth-round pick with the franchise. The long-term future, of course, is No. 1 overall pick, […]
Submit your Las Vegas Raiders mailbag questions!
Since Al Davis’ birthday (the Fourth of July) is a federal holiday and observed on Friday, this week’s call for Las Vegas Raiders mailbag questions is coming a day early so that I can get a jump on writing it and spend all weekend eating hot dogs and drinking beer! However, the column will still […]
Raiders roster 2026: Get to know Brandon Johnson
The Las Vegas Raiders recently signed wide receiver Brandon Johnson as a free agent this offseason. Let’s take a closer look at Johnson: Size: 6-2, 195 pounds. NFL experience: He was signed by the Denver Broncos in 2022 as an undrafted free agent. He played 20 games with Denver in 2022-23 and he played three […]
Raiders are heavy underdogs in AFC West
There’s no doubt that the Las Vegas Raiders imrpoved more than any other team in the AFC West this offseason. Still, the oddsmakers are not convinced Las Vegas is ready to compete in the division in the 2026 season. According to our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Raiders are 15-1 longshots to win the division […]

Where does Las Vegas Raiders’ offensive line rank in AFC West after adding Tyler Linderbaum?
It’s been well-documented that the Las Vegas Raiders had arguably the worst offensive line in the NFL last season. Addressing the trenches was one of the front office’s biggest priorities this offseason, adding Tyler Linderbaum to the roster in free agency by making him the highest-paid interior offensive lineman in the league from a dollars […]
