What does Darrell Luter Jr. bring to Las Vegas Raiders’ roster?
Even after the Las Vegas Raiders filled out their initial 53-man roster at the end of training camp, John Spytek and Klint Kubiak weren’t done making one last tweak.

Raiders fans expect Ashton Jeanty to start Week 1
The Las Vegas Raiders are getting ready for their Week 1 matchup vs the Miami Dolphins. Of course, the biggest question heading into the game is the health of Ashton Jeanty.

Raiders’ Patrick Johnson a feel-good story, but veteran earned his spot
The Las Vegas Raiders are no strangers to preseason “phenoms”. Same can be said about the other 31 teams in the NFL, really. Usually, said standouts tend to be of the young variety, either an undrafted free agent (UDFA) or a player in their second or third year in the league. Case-in-point: Cian Slone. The […]

While there was plenty of conjecture of what would happen during the Las Vegas Raiders head coaching search, once the team zeroed in on Klint Kubiak, it wasn’t a matter of “if” but “when”. And once it was clear the offensive-minded young hotshot was the choice by Silver & Black brass, even the normally reserved […]
Jeremiah Smith, Will Echoles, 2027 NFL draft wide receivers and defensive tackles Las Vegas Raiders fans should know
While the Las Vegas Raiders settled in on their initial 53-man roster this week, there are a couple of glaring holes at wide receiver and defensive tackle heading into the season.

Is Klint Kubiak’s Raiders offense plug-and-play for any running back?
Ashton Jeanty’s ankle ailment was certainly a cause for concern. The Las Vegas Raiders’ workhorse running back went down with the ankle injury back on August 23 during practice where he dove for a low pass and landed awkwardly. The ensuing silence and players and coaches kneeling was concerning, as was Jeanty unable to put […]
Raiders defense: Kwity Paye’s ascension as complement to Maxx Crosby key
With a salary cap in place, all 32 NFL teams operate with limited funds in any given year. And it’s that maximum limit in spending which puts return on investment (ROI) — a term usually reserved for the business world — under a bright spotlight. Such is the case for the Las Vegas Raiders. The […]
