The Year 2 bar for Raiders defensive tackle JJ Pegues

New year. New coaching staff. New evaluation period. Such is the case for head coach Klint Kubiak and his Las Vegas Raiders as the team continues its journey through training camp. The hotshot offensive-minded 39-year-old is the man leading the Silver & Black into the 2026 campaign and things are equal parts excitement and hope. […]

Updated Las Vegas Raiders Training Camp Measurables

Every year the Raiders release new updated measurables (height/weight) on the teams roster website, while these measurables aren’t made fully known they are updated, you can cross compare to other sites and previous years to identify the new values for each player. It’s always fascinating to find which players, often new to the organization, have […]

Raiders fans love playoff-clinching win over Chargers

The first six NFL seasons of this decade hasn’t been overly successful fort eh Las Vegas Raiders. But there has been some good moments for the franchise. So, we recently took to our FEED and asked our community members which was their favorite Raiders’ victory of this decade thus far. Our poll choices were: Note: […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have overhauled their roster heading into the 2026 season, and there’s a new wave of talent for Las Vegas this season from young standouts to veterans, and budding second year players. A look at a few Raiders that could sneak their way into the roster. I already touched on EDGE Cian […]

Silver Minings: Raiders DT Tonka Hemingway is making noise at training camp

The Las Vegas Raiders didn’t invest heavily in the defensive tackle position in free agency or the draft. One reason is the belief in the two draft picks from last season, Tonka Hemingway and JJ Pegues. Pegues got a sack during Sunday’s practice, but Hemingway has been performing well since day one. He is looking […]

What Klint Kubiak must do to get most out of quarterback Kirk Cousins

The last time Klint Kubiak and Kirk Cousins were together back in 2019 in Minnesota, the coach was a up-and-coming 32-year-old offensive coordinator while the quarterback had turned 31 years old and entered his eighth year in the NFL. After spending three seasons with the Vikings and making other stops along the way, the duo […]

Silver Minings: Raiders are looking for upgrades at running back

The Las Vegas Raiders are going to be a smash-mouth football team in 2026 with Klint Kubiak becoming the head coach. In Seattle with the Seahawks, the team ran the ball 50% of their offensive snaps in 2025, and he brings that mentality to the Raiders. While the Raiders are going to have Ashton Jeanty […]

An attacking Raiders defense favors safety Jeremy Chinn’s strengths

A different energy and sense of urgency in training camp? Stop me if you’ve heard that before. The Las Vegas Raiders are heading in a new direction under rookie head coach Klint Kubiak. And the hackneyed phrase of new energy and sense of urgency accompanies that, of course. Acknowledged as one of the game’s top […]

Raiders fans are split on whether to trade for Vita Vea

The Las Vegas Raiders are switching to a 3-4 defense in 2026, which puts them in need of a nose tackle. They have brought in three players to help out in that area, adding Benito Jones and drafting Brandon Cleveland, as well as Gary Smith II as an undrafted free agent. Since the departure of […]

The Las Vegas Raiders invested heavily in the secondary during the 2026 NFL draft. They drafted two cornerbacks and 2 safeties to help solidify the backend of the defense heading into this season.

I broke down the 2027 scouting classes in my early summer scouting series, and the room has a ton of potential with a long list of potential standout players. I broke down the offense and defense in articles and I suggest reading those for a broad aspect of the room. The Raiders do have some […]

Raiders fans map out what they want to see in training camp

The Las Vegas Raiders kicked off their 2026 training camp this week, so, naturally, we dedicated our Tuesday Community Question this week to ask our readers what do they think is the most important aspect of camp for the team this summer. We got a lot of smart, relevant answers. Here are some of your […]

Recently, our Matt Holder wrote about five Las Vegas Raiders who could be surprise cuts this summer.

Raiders news: Kirk Cousins among all-time greats in a key stat

New Las Vegas Raiders veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins is currently expected to begin the season as the starter while the team grooms rookie, No. 1 overall draft Fernando Mendoza.

What we know about possible Vita Vea trade

Last month, we wrote that we should keep an eye on the Vita Vea situation with the Tamp Bay Buccaneers. At that point, the star defensive tackle was unhappy with his contract. We wrote it could escalate and if it did the Las Vegas Raiders could emerge as a possible trade partner. Indeed, it has […]

Raiders roster: Tre Tucker’s career has been let down by QB play

When the Las Vegas Raiders traded Darren Waller in 2023 for a third-round pick, they had to replace a weapon on offense. The franchise decided to make that move with the same pick they acquired by drafting Tre Tucker out of Cincinnati. Tucker played in the slot during college but was asked to move outside […]

There is a strong chance Michael Mayer may be entering his final season with the Las Vegas Raiders. The tight end, who the Raiders traded up to draft in 2023, is set to be a free agent after this season. In a post exploring whether he will return or not, we asked our readers if […]

Raiders News: Hezekiah Masses emerging as sleeper starting candidate during training camp

Heading into the Las Vegas Raiders’ training camp, the expectation was that second-year pro/2025 third-round pick Darien Porter and rookie fourth-round pick Jermod McCoy would be competing for the starting outside cornerback spot opposite Eric Stokes. That’s still the case; however, rookie fifth-rounder Hezekiah “Zeke” Masses has thrown his name into the mix and received […]
