The Las Vegas Raiders are wrapping up rookie mini-camp, where the team's newest rookies showcased their skills for the first time. While the camp is usually designated for the rookies, the Raiders also added a veteran for a tryout.
That player is linebacker Jaylon Smith, who did not play a down in 2024. He played with the Raiders briefly in 2023 with his connection to defensive coordinator Patric Graham. Smith's familiarity with the system must have shown itself on the field, as he was offered a contract...

NFL makes touchback spot the 35-yard line in hopes of promoting more action in kickoff return game
Continued consistency and breaking a long drought.
That’s what’s on the line for the Las Vegas Raiders regarding the NFL’s 2025 special teams rule change this upcoming season.
With eyes on creating more action on kickoffs — something that was dampened with player safety in mind — the league moved up the dead ball spot on touchbacks to the 35-yard line. The rule changed, approved on April 1, is aimed in increasing the kickoff return rate which will have reverberating effects on all...

Former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is calling it quits after 11 seasons in the NFL

Carr had a torn labrum in his shoulder that aggravated when he started to prepare for next season. The injury would have required surgery, but after talking with his family, Carr thought it would be better to walk away from the game.

As one of the final bastions of the traditional fullback position, the Las Vegas Raiders broke a 40-year cycle in 2024 by not deploying a longstanding role with the team.
Whether it was the rugged battering rams the likes of Jon Ritchie, Justin Griffith, or Jakob Johnson to versatile options like Zack Crockett, Marcel Reece, or Alec Ingold, a fullback was present on the Raiders roster.
There wasn’t one this past season under then-head coach Antonio Pierce and then-offensive coordinator Luke Getsy....

Of the returning CBs, which ones check the new head coach’s boxes?
Cornerback has been an interesting position for the Las Vegas Raiders this offseason, as there’s been quite a bit of turnover in the meeting room. One of the reasons for that is that new head coach Pete Carroll has a “type” at corner and often wants players to meet certain size thresholds.
Typically, Carroll is a big stickler when it comes to height and arm length, especially the latter. For example, Jack Jones was let go ahead of the draft, and Jones measures in under 6-feet tall (5-foot-10¾...
