Covering all things Oakland Raiders football
The operation between the long snapper, holder, and place kicker is often overlooked, but supremely vital. Harken back to the 2012 rendition of the Oakland Raiders, where the loss of efficient and steady long snapper Jon Condo resulted in linebacker Travis Goethel being thrust into the role. The result was a nightmare. Two of Goethel’s […]
The 2021 draft turned into being one of the Raiders best classes in recent years, adding 5 proven starters across their 7 selections. That said, the Raiders did have a whiff in the first round, and arguably one of the worst whiffs in the 2020s, if not the worst. Las Vegas also failed to retain […]
The 2019 draft, a draft that was bound to be pivotal for the Raiders, holding three first round picks and four inside the top 40 of the class in general. The class featured a strong lack of talent that would help the Raiders, being carried heavily by Maxx Crosby, and honestly Hunter Renfrow as well. […]
I’ve often said how much I love Raiders’ history and delving in the rich history of the storied franchise is a favorite topic of mine for Tuesday Community Questions. This week it was simple. I asked folks to say something about the great Ken Stabler. Snake was my favorite player. And it seems like I’m […]

The Las Vegas Raiders’ roster leaves a lot to be desired at wide receiver heading into the 2026 season. It’s arguably the worst position group in the entire NFL and thus, ranks at the bottom of the AFC West. That begs the question: do the Raiders have a top-10 wideout compared to the Denver Broncos, […]

When that deal fell through after Crosby did not pass a physical, the trade rumors were supposed to be left behind. Recently, the rumors have started to heat up again, with reports that the San Francisco […]

Raiders redundancy is apt at the quarterback position. No, I’m not referring to having super veteran Kirk Cousins, No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza, and another vet Aidan O’Connell as the top trio in the quarterback room. That’s quite important, don’t get me wrong. It’s having Klint Kubiak as the head coach and primary offensive […]
The Las Vegas Raiders are going into their seventh season since leaving Oakland, making the 2020 NFL draft class the franchise’s first in its new city. That also means all seven players selected in Vegas’ inaugural draft are or at least have had enough time to be well-established veterans in the league. So, let’s check […]

In fact, it […]

He rotated with 2025 third-round pick, Darien Porter, both days. At his end-of-the-offseason press conference, Raiders’ head coach Klint Kubiak noted that […]

After taking care of the quarterbacks previously, Silver and Black Pride’s AFC West position rankings are moving on to running backs to see how the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster stacks up with the Denver Broncos’, Kansas City Chiefs’ and Los Angeles Chargers’ rosters heading into the 2026 season. This is an interesting position group for […]
The Las Vegas Raiders don’t break for training camp for another 6 weeks, but their has already been positional battles to start, and to be talked about. The Raiders coming off a 3-14 season are not going to pencil in their starters, there’s a lot of youth, and with that a lot of unproven talent. […]
