The Year 2 bar for Raiders cornerback Darien Porter
Standing nearly 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds with blazing speed, Darien Porter was a prototype cornerback for the previous Las Vegas Raiders coaching staff — particularly head coach Pete Carroll. The Carroll architype is a tall, long-armed, and fast cornerback and with his height, 33 1/8-inch arms, and 4.30-second timed 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, […]
Silver Minings: Caleb Rogers is ready for the challenge to become the starter
The Las Vegas Raiders have gone through nine days of training camp, and the camp battles are heating up.

Raiders Training Camp: Michael Mayer will be a vital part of the 2026 offense
HENDERSON, Nevada — The Las Vegas Raiders drafted Michael Mayer to be their star tight end in 2023. However, everything changed the next season when the Raiders drafted Brock Bowers, who became the starting tight end and reduced Mayer’s role in the offense. It led Mayer to struggle off the field and lose some confidence. […]
Raiders training camp showing encouraging signs of a player-led defense
If there’s ever a time for Las Vegas Raiders defenders to play fast and make mistakes, it’s training camp. Especially with the team no longer participating in what safeties coach Matt Robinson called “the underwear Olympics” phase of camp since the team putting on pads this past Monday and engaging in some “real football”. “It’s […]

Is Tom Brady Holding Back Fernando Mendoza The Right Move?
Las Vegas Raiders part owner Tom Brady has said over and over, going all the way back to last year’s NFL postseason, that whoever gets drafted will sit. Remembering how advantageous sitting, learning and watching were to his early development. One of the key things he said was holding Mendoza off until the team was […]
How does Taron Johnson playing safety impact rest of Las Vegas Raiders’ secondary?
There’s an interesting development coming from the early stages of the Las Vegas Raiders’ training camp: veteran defensive back Taron Johnson has been getting reps at safety. During the offseason, the Raiders traded for Johnson to, presumptively, solve the defense’s nickelback problem. The former Buffalo Bill has almost exclusively been a slot corner, with about […]

The Raiders safety room currently features Jeremy Chinn at the strong safety/big nickel, Dalton […]

Brief former Raider Roger Craig inducted into Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend
Once a Riader, always a Raider, right? That’s how the franchise treats their players and that is always evident when they celebrate the success of players who enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame even if they played just a brief time for the Silver and Black. That will be the case this weekend when […]
