Some 2nd-year players will be battling for spots

Let’s look how the Las Vegas Raiders 2024 rookie class was affected by this offseason’s moves and what to expect from them in 2025:

Brock Bowers:

Well, on the surface, nothing has changed Bowers’ status with this team this offseason and likely that will be the case for the next decade. Bowers is a major focal point of this offense, of course. But while nothing has changed for him at tight end, this offseason has affected him. The additions of offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, quarterback Geno Smith and top two draft picks,...

Media is taking notice of the new and improved Raiders heading into the 2025 season

The Las Vegas Raiders have undergone some significant changes this offseason, most notably hiring Pete Carroll as head coach and trading for quarterback Geno Smith. Now, the mainstream media is taking notice as ESPN’s Ben Solak recently listed the Raiders as his most improved team in the NFL, citing Carroll and Smith as the primary reasons.

“No team made bigger strides at the two most important positions than the Raiders,” Solak wrote. “Geno Smith is multiple tiers better than Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell,...

Can the rookies live up to the legacy their numbers carry?

OTAs are underway for the Las Vegas Raiders, which means Ashton Jeanty and the entire 2025 NFL Draft class have silver and black jerseys on with their first numbers as professionals. Since the Raiders don’t retire numbers, some of these rookies have big shoes to fill to live up to the legacy of the players who used to wear the digit.

Granted, the rookies can change their numbers before the start of the regular season and seventh-round pick Cody Lindenberg has already switched from 54 to 55. But for...

Las Vegas’ 3rd-round pick another size, speed marvel for a team lacking explosiveness

The Las Vegas Raiders seemingly turned back the clock in the 2025 NFL Draft going with some size/speed selections that OGs in Raider Nation are all too familiar with.

This shouldn’t be all that surprising considering the must-have throwback traits that the Silver & Black made priority are similar to new head coach Pete Carroll’s preferred characteristics.

Take cornerback Darien Porter, for example.

At 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds with 4.3-flat speed in the 40-yard dash, his athletic profile makes him a classic Silver & Black cornerback. Add...

Breaking down the running back’s least productive game of last season

For some, the apprehension about the Las Vegas Raiders using the sixth overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft on running back Ashton Jeanty stemmed from his performance in the College Football Playoffs against Penn State.

That was arguably the stiffest competition the Boise State product faced all year, and he had 30 carries for a season-low 99 rushing yards, 3.3 yards per carry and zero touchdowns. For perspective, it was the only time he didn’t record triple-digit rushing yards, one of two games where he was below four...

Pro Football Focus has the Raiders’ new starting quarterback in its third tier of QBs

New Las Vegas Raiders’ starting quarterback Geno Smith is a bit of a controversial player. Some will point to his failures as the New York Jets starter and dip in production with the Seattle Seahawks last season to argue he’s a below-average quarterback. Meanwhile, others will point to Smith’s two Pro Bowl appearances in Seattle and the Seahawks’ struggling offensive line a year ago to say he’s one of the better starters in the league.

Pro Football Focus is in the latter category. They listed...

Three-time Pro Bowler gets a raise heading into the season

The Las Vegas Raiders have agreed to a contract extension with AJ Cole, making him the highest-paid punter in the NFL. According to Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz, Cole’s new contract is for four years and $15 million, with $11 million guaranteed.

According to Over The Cap, Michael Dickson of the Seattle Seahawks was previously the league’s highest-paid punter at four years, about $14.7 million.

Cole was entering the final year of a four-year, $12 million deal that he signed in 2021. So, the extension keeps him in the Silver and...

Rookie wide receiver has the size and speed offensive coordinator Chip Kelly must take advantage of

How does a wide receiver prospect who stands nearly 6-foot-5 and runs a 4.3-flat 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine not get taken until the fourth-round of the 2025 NFL Draft?

When said prospect is viewed as a one-trick pony.

Despite measuring in at 6-foot-4 5/8 inches (nearly 6-foot-5) and 205 pounds and running a blazing 40, Tennessee wide receiver Dont’e Thornton Jr. didn’t hear his name called until Day 3 of the draft. But he went to a team where a prospect of...
