Las Vegas Raiders 2026 Defensive Wildcards
The Las Vegas Raiders are set to start training camp within the next month, and as they gear up for an interesting 2026 season, a few players and/or position groups can really make or break the season. The Raiders added a plethora of talent over the last off-season, with the Raiders likely to only return […]
Submit your Las Vegas Raiders mailbag questions!
We’re two weeks away from the Las Vegas Raiders starting training camp, as rookies will report on July 23. So the return of Raiders’ football is on the horizon. But this also means we have a couple of weeks to get those last few questions about the roster or whatever else you can think of […]
Raiders fans want Aidan O’Connell on 53-man roster
We will see if Aidan O’Connell will remain in the quarterback room for the Las Vegas Raiders this season when the 53-man roster is set. But many Raiders’ fans believe the fourth-year player will, indeed, be part of the squad as we asked in a FEED post poll recently. He has been the subject of […]
Raiders need to get closer to league punting average
Yes, AJ Cole is a sublime punting talent and he’s fun to watch. But we need to see him play less this season. The average number of punts in an NFL game is down acr0ss the league. But not in Las Vegas. A recent post on X by NFL analyst (and former Raiders’ employee) Ryan […]

Jalen Nailor’s performance will be good barometer of Klint Kubiak
As the chief offensive play caller, how Klint Kubiak maximizes wide receiver Jalen Nailor will say a lot about the head coach’s prowess. Inking a three-year, $35.03 million contract, with $23 million guaranteed ($18 million at signing) with the Las Vegas Raiders, the Silver & Black paid a pretty penny to bring the Nevada native […]
The Technique & Analytics of Rob Leonard’s Las Vegas Raiders Defense
The Las Vegas Raiders are shifting to a 3-4 base defense, though I doubt they will be sitting out of base defense for most of the season, and if that if they will even be in the 3-4 system all that often. Matt Holder recently published an article breaking down the plan for Rob Leonard […]
Revisiting the drafting of Brock Bowers
Tom Telesco had pretty uneventful one-year stint as the general manager of the Las Vegas Raiders before he was ousted in 2025. But Telesco will always have a fingerprint on the franchise because he was the guy who brought Brock Bowers to Las Vegas. Bowers has a chance to go down as an all-time great […]
Is it time to worry about Fernando Mendoza and Jermod McCoy being unsigned?
The Las Vegas Raiders rookies report to training camp in 15 days and yet two of their 10 member 2026 draft class remain unsigned. Las Vegas has yet to sign first-round pick (and No. 1 overall choice) quarterback Fernando Mendoza and fourth-round pick, cornerback Jermod McCoy. There are currently less than 10 unsigned draft pick […]
Will Raiders rookie Treydan Stukes start Week 1?
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 made a ton of moves to improve the defense for 2026. Defense […]
Can Raiders’ new kicker deliver the long bomb?
One of the biggest storylines for the Las Vegas Raiders when training camp begins later this month will be the kicking battle between newly signed veteran Matt Gay and undrafted rookie Kansei Matsuzawa. The battle will play out in both training camp and in the three preseason games as they battle to replace Daniel Carlson. […]

Where do new Las Vegas Raiders linebackers Nakobe Dean, Quay Walker rank in AFC West?
Last season, the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster had a glaring weakness at linebacker, hence the signing of veterans Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker during free agency. The Raiders shelled out over $75 million in total contract value between those two to fix the defense’s problem, but is that enough for the defense to have a […]
2025 Las Vegas Raiders Same Position Re-Draft
The Raiders 2025 draft class only has played one season, so identifying which players could or could not be replaced here is a little bit different than my previous editions. Players have either under, or over performed and plenty of players are still developing after being selected as pure developmental prospects. Ashton Jeanty is a […]
Fans are split on Jack Bech expectations
One of the more interesting players to watch on the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 roster will be second-year wide receiver Jack Bech. The 2025 second-round pick had an up-and-down rookie season and frankly, it was probably more disappointing than anything. He had just 20 catches for 224 yards all season. Yet, the Raiders’ leadership have […]
Raiders fans would love to add Vita Vea
Vita Vea wearing the Silver and Black? Yes, please. That’s the sentiment of the Las Vegas Raiders’ fan base. We recently asked our readers would they want the Raiders to pursue Vea, the star defensive tackle of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a recent post. The results were overwhelmingly in favor of the idea. That […]
Remembering a special season by Maxx Crosby
The Las Vegas Raiders’ 2021 season was unforgettable for so many reasons. Perhaps lost in the chaos of the Jon Gruden email scandal and Henry Ruggs arrest and release was a historic on-field performance by then third-year pass-rusher Maxx Crosby. He was simply brilliant, especially when it counted. A recent X post by NFL researcher […]

Would Maxx Crosby-George Pickens trade make sense for Las Vegas Raiders, Dallas Cowboys?
The Maxx Crosby trade rumors haven’t stopped, as he’s clearly the hottest commodity on the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster heading into training camp. Of course, being in the “slow news period” of the NFL calendar leads to a lot of hypothetical trades that don’t mean much. But the one below that was proposed by 105.3 […]
2024 Las Vegas Raiders Same Position Re-Draft
The first class for general manager Tom Telesco and head coach Antonio Pierce, would turn out to be their only draft at the helm of the Raiders as well. The class has started to build rather deep roots for the Raiders, with good talent in the first three rounds and a few picks later on, […]
Major celebrity golf tournament will have Raiders’ flavor
If you need a Raiders’ fix before the team begins raining camp in a few weeks, this is your chance. There will be a big Las Vegas Raiders’ presence at the The American Century Championship in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course. It runs Wednesday thru Sunday, including practice rounds. It is […]
Would you be in favor of a Justin Jefferson trade?
Yes, it’s the dead period for the NFL, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to talk about. Recently, CBS Sports had a hypothetical trade proposal, sending Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson to the Las Vegas Raiders for a first and third round pick. The proposal states Jefferson will seek to leave Minnesota […]
David Carr got inside info on Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza
The Las Vegas Raiders revamped the quarterback room in 2026, adding Kirk Cousins and drafting Fernando Mendoza. Mendoza is the hope for Raider Nation, as he aims to turn around the franchise after years of losing. Of course, fans want an update on his success and how quickly he can develop. On the Carr brothers’ […]

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 […]
