Raiders at Seahawks: 5 things to watch

The Las Vegas Raiders open their preseason schedule Thursday at the Seattle Seahawks. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. PT.

Here are five things to look for in the game:

The rookies:

We may not see first-round pick, running back Ashton Jeanty in Seattle, but we should get a solid look at the rest of the Las Vegas Raiders’ 11-player draft class in addition to their undrafted players. The Raiders are excited about their rookies. It will be fun to see how they compete in a game situation.

The trenches:

Depth on both the offensive and defensive line is crucial. There...

Silver Minings: Maxx Crosby for Comeback Player of the Year?

Silver Minings: Maxx Crosby for Comeback Player of the Year?

When it comes to Las Vegas Raiders’ star defensive end Maxx Crosby and NFL awards, the focus is usually on the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award.

But in the 2025 season, we need to come an eye on another award — the NFL Comeback Player of the Year.

Remember, Crosby missed his first five games of his six-season career in 2024 and finished the season on the injured reserve with leg issues.

Crosby is entering his seventh NFL season fully healthy and ready to go and he should be poised for his typical monster season.

According to our...

Sebastian Janikowski or Daniel Carlson for Raiders’ kicker on 2000s All-Quarter Century Team?

Sebastian Janikowski or Daniel Carlson for Raiders’ kicker on 2000s All-Quarter Century Team?

We’ve done at least one poll for every offensive and defensive position on the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders’ 2000s All-Quarter Century Team, so it’s time to give the specialists some love and vote on a kicker between Sebastian Janikowski and Daniel Carlson.

While the majority of other polls had three nominees, Janikowski and Carlson are the only kickers to play more than one season for the Raiders since 2000, so we’ll keep it simple on this one.

Silver Minings: Raiders named potential landing spot for Micah Parsons

Silver Minings: Raiders named potential landing spot for Micah Parsons

Whenever a big-name player asks for a trade, fanbases across the NFL are quick to say that their team should trade for said player. That usually means nothing, but fuel gets added to the fire when the media makes the same connection.

Recently, Dallas Cowboys’ star pass-rusher Micah Parsons asked to be dealt, and NFL.com’s Eric Edholm listed the Las Vegas Raiders as one of seven teams that could pursue the four-time Pro Bowler.

“Few teams are better equipped to handle the financial burden of a Parsons contract extension than the Raiders, both in the short and long terms,”...

‘Everybody’s ready to go’ for Raiders’ 1st preseason game against Seahawks

‘Everybody’s ready to go’ for Raiders’ 1st preseason game against Seahawks

The big question heading into any preseason game is whether a team’s starters are going to play. Ahead of Thursday’s matchup with new head coach Pete Carroll’s former team, the Seattle Seahawks, Carroll indicated that the Las Vegas Raiders will be playing their starters.

“Everybody’s live,” Carroll said via The Athletic’s Tashan Reed. “Everybody’s ready to go.”

It’s unclear if that means Raider Nation will get its first chance to see new starting quarterback Geno Smith and how many of the Silver and Black’s starters will suit up. However, the head coach didn’t shoot the idea down.

Smith will be...

This offseason, the Maryland product seemed like he was gearing up for a breakout campaign, finally solidifying himself as a regular first-stringer...
