The Las Vegas Raiders have been connected to veteran wide receivers all offseason. We recently asked our community members which of the remaining free agents would they want the Raiders to sign. The options were: The winner was longtime AFC West rival Keenan Allen. That makes sense to me. I wouldn’t touch Diggs or Hill […]

Raiders news: 1 and done streak is probably over

The Las Vegas Raiders badly must break an ugly streak with their coaching leadership. Their past two head-coach hires, Antonio Pierce and Pete Carroll, both were fired after one full season as the permanent head coach of the franchise. That is a horrible sign of instability.

What if Jack Bech doesn’t take next step?

One of the many players the Las Vegas Raiders hope takes a big step forward this season is second-year wide receiver Jack Bech. He was a second-round pick last year. However, the TCU product, was slow to progress as a rookie and ended up not having much of an impact in 2025. He had just […]

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 […]

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 […]
