Pete Carroll wasn’t the lone reason for the Las Vegas Raiders’ failures this season.

General manager John Spytek — the other half of the new era duo the team brought in just this past offseason — remains while Carroll was dismissed on Monday. And during Spytek’s media session that afternoon, took on the brunt of the blame for the Silver & Black’s horrendous 3-14 record in 2025.

The Las Vegas Raiders managed to secure the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft during Week 18, allowing the franchise to end its multi-year search for a long-term quarterback.

The Las Vegas Raiders own the No. 1 pick of the 2026 NFL draft, allowing the organization to finally get its franchise quarterback.

The Las Vegas Raiders have struggled to generate constant pass-rush for several seasons.

The 2025 season was no different. Yet, the club ended the 2025 season with a strong pass-rush showing in a 14-12 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Defensive ends Tyree Wilson and Charles Snowden each had two sacks as did rookie defensive tackle Tonka Hemingway. According to the Raiders’ public relations department, it was the third time since sacks became an official start in 1982 that the Raiders had , at least, three...

The Las Vegas Raiders have played their last game of the 2025 season, and we have our final NFL Power Ranking roundup to put a bow on the campaign. With the offseason and the Raiders’ rebuild in mind, the national media continues to float the idea that Maxx Crosby could be on the trade block this offseason.

On an administrative note, a lot of the outlets that we’ve been keeping tabs on throughout the season didn’t publish a final power ranking or just focused on the playoff teams. So, we have a few new sources for this week’s column.
