It’s been an active offseason for the Las Vegas Raiders, as the organization made several changes, starting with hiring a new head coach, Klint Kubiak. The Raiders also spent over $280 million in total contract value during free agency to add a bunch of players to the roster.

That sets up for a handful of “revenge games” for a few new Las Vegas residents. So, with the NFL schedule releasing on Thursday, let’s dive into those matchups.

Klint Kubiak

To be fair, “revenge” is a loose term when it comes to Kubiak and the Seattle Seahawks. There shouldn’t be...

Las Vegas have players such as JJ Pegues, Brandon Cleveland, Brodric Martin, and Greg Smith the Raiders could likely be pushed away from a nose tackle signing. Las Veags won’t hold a nose tackle on the field more than 18-22% of the time.

NT Austin Johnson, Jacksonville Jaguars

• Johnson is someone I have linked to the Raiders for a while, largely because of his connection with former DC Patrick Graham. Johnson, is a traditional NT at 6’4/315. Johnson hasn’t eclipsed more than 10 pressures outside 2 of his 11 years in the NFL, though he’s stayed as a quality...

The Las Vegas Raiders have invested on a lot on their offensive line in recent drafts and they will need these young players will be counted on to perform.

One thing they have going in their favor with a couple of these players is they came into the NFL with major playing experience on the college level.

Al Karsten of SB Nation’s Pride of Detroit recently listed the college starts of the top 150 NFL draft picks since 2019 in Power Conference.

Raiders’ 2025 third-round pick Caleb Rogers topped the list with a whopping 55 college starts. Raiders’ 2026 third-round...

Fernando Mendoza is the shiny new item in the toy box while grizzled veteran Kirk Cousins provides a familiar insurance policy of sorts in the quarterback room.

And the Las Vegas Raiders couldn’t be happier.

It’s those two signal callers that’ll be one of the focal points of the Silver & Black’s offseason and we’ll get to see if general manager John Spytek did put new head coach Klint Kubiak in a position to succeed in the lead man’s inaugural year helming an NFL team.

Mendoza, the highly touted (and debated) Indiana Hoosiers’ prospect was snagged by the Raiders with...

When the Las Vegas Raiders selected former Arizona defensive backs Treydan Stukes and Dalton Johnson in the 2026 NFL draft, they weren’t just adding a couple of safeties to the roster. The Raiders got a pair of team captains to help lead the charge for the organization’s rebuild.

To get a better understanding of Stukes’ and Johnson’s leadership skills and work ethic, Silver and Black Pride sat down with Arizona’s Director of Football Strength and Conditioning Cullen Carroll for an exclusive interview. Carroll has been on the Wildcats’ staff since 2024, working with the defensive back duo for two years....

One of the Las Vegas Raiders made wholesale changes this offense was because the offense was simply dreadful in 2025.

How bad was it?

This recent X post by NFL analyst Warren Sharp has you answer. The Raiders scored 41 percent of their total 2025 points in the second half was losing. It was the second highest percentage in the entire league. Here’s the full list:

Thus, the Raiders scored 98.8 of their 241 points in garage time. Indeed, Geno Smith and Pete Carroll were kings of the “Waste Management Offense.”
