Roger McCreary, Las Vegas Raiders’ top nickelback options in free agency

After letting Nate Hobbs walk in free agency last offseason, nickelback was one of many weaknesses on the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster in 2025. With 2026 NFL free agency just around the corner, Las Vegas has a chance to improve the position by finding a defensive back who can cover the slot. So, using Pro […]

Raiders need more production or replace Tre Tucker

Tre Tucker has been a starting wide receiver for more than the past season and a half. And, frankly, he hasn’t produced nearly as much as he should.

Raiders free agency: Eric Stokes atop group of cornerbacks who fit

While the defensive front is of primary concern, putting the secondary on the backburner is unwise for the Las Vegas Raiders. Sure, getting defenders that suit new defensive coordinator Rob Leonard’s 3-4 base defensive front is of utmost importance — namely getting more teeth to the pass rush that featured Maxx Crosby as the lone […]

Coby Bryant, Las Vegas Raiders’ top free safety options in free agency

Last season, the Las Vegas Raiders ranked 25th in the NFL with just eight interceptions. A big reason is that the roster lacked a true free safety who could patrol the backend of the defense and take the ball away. That makes the position one of Las Vegas’ needs this offseason, but help could be […]

Tristen Kuhn 2026 NFL Draft Defense ‘My Guys’ – Combine

The concept of “my guys” is essentially a prospect you would pound the table for and/or someone that you are higher on than the consensus boards. In 2024, some notable prospects for me included Cam Hart, Michael Penix, DJ Glaze, Dylan McMahon, Jalyx Hunt, Graham Barton, Ruke Orhorohoro, and Brandon Dorlus. 2025 saw some notable […]
