The Raiders began the 2000s with three consecutive AFC West titles, but haven’t won the division since 2002, meaning Las Vegas has never taken home the crown. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos and San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers have all won the AFC West several times each, and the Chiefs are looking to be the champs for the 10th year in a row this season.

The good news is that Raiders head coach Pete Carroll won the AFC East during his first year with the New England Patriots and the NFC West in year one with the Seattle Seahawks....

The Las Vegas Raiders have brought wide receiver Amari Cooper back to the organization.

Let’s take a closer look at Cooper:

Size:

6-1, 211 pounds.

NFL experience:|

He is entering his 11th NFL season. He played for the Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills. He has 711 career catches for 10,033 yards and 64 touchdowns.

College:

Cooper was the No. 4 overall draft pick in 2015, by the Raiders after starring at Alabama.

Raiders history:

Cooper played for the Raiders from 2015 until he was traded for a first-round draft pick to Dallas (the pick turned out...

It’s no secret, Tyree Wilson has been a pretty big dissapoinment since the Las Vegas Raiders drafted him with the No. 7 overall pick in 2023.

Wilson has had some moments. but in his first two seasons, he hasn’t been consistent at all and hasn’t been able to be trusted as a top-of-the-rotation player at defensive end.

This is a critical year from the Texas Tech product. If Wilson, who has just four career starts and eight sacks in two seasons, doesn’t take a significant step forward in 20025, the Raiders’ brass will likely not exercise his first-year option and...

Allegiant Stadium is a beauty of a facility, there’s no doubt.

However, it has yet to become a great place for the Las Vegas Raiders to play since it opened in the 2020 season.

The Raiders have struggled to dominate at home and many weeks, the visiting team has more fans in the stand than the Silver and Black do.

So, a recent tweet, based on home-field advantage by NFL analyst Warren Sharp is not a surprise. Sharp had a ranking home-field advantage, based on the 2024 season, and the Raiders were ranked at No. 28, the fifth-lowest in the...

A crazy, newsy day turned into a newsy evening as the Las Vegas Raiders sent a fifth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for Kenny Pickett, who will be the new backup quarterback to Geno Smith.

Here are some thoughts on the move:

They thought about it:

Sunday, Raiders’ coach Pete Carroll said the team would look at every avenue for a backup quarterback with experience and they were connected to many different players. So, the Raiders had a plan. The Browns had a surplus of quarterbacks and the Raiders targeted Pickett to back up Geno...

The Las Vegas Raiders traded with the Cleveland Browns, acquiring quarterback Kenny Pickett, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Raiders are sending a fifth-round pick to the Browns in the deal.

After Aidan O’Connell suffered a fractured wrist in the Raiders’ final preseason game last weekend, head coach Pete Carroll said the team would be looking for a veteran backup quarterback option. Rookie sixth-round pick Cam Miller was the Silver and Black’s only other option on the roster, but Miller struggled over the last two weeks and isn’t quite ready for regular-season action.

In steps...

Monday was reunion day as the Las Vegas Raiders brought back wide receiver Amari Cooper to the franchise.

Whether Jakobi Meyers stays or not, Cooper will likely be near the top of the rotation along with Tre Tucker and rookies Jack Bech and Dont’a Thornton.

Cooper,31, had 44 catches for 547 yards last season split with the Cleveland Browns and the Buffalo Bills. He was solid leading up to last year and hew as considered the best available veteran on the street at this point of the offseason.

Cooper was drafted by the Oakland Raiders with the No. 4 overall...

The preseason and training camp are in the books, and the NFL’s cutdown day is on Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. PST. So, let’s take one last stab at predicting the Las Vegas Raiders’ 53-man roster heading into the regular season.

To account for players who could get put on injured reserve during roster cuts, I’ve added an ‘Injured’ designation for the final projection. It’s important to note that the league has changed its rules, where teams can have two players begin the year on IR but designate them to return at some point during the season. Unlike in years past,...

Monday, news broke that Las Vegas Raiders No. 1 wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has requested a trade because he hasn’t received a new contract. Also, the Raiders brought back Amari Cooper on Monday afternoon.

Here are some thoughts on the development:

It’s a tricky situation:

It’s understandable that Meyers wants a new deal. He is entering the final season of a three-year deal that is paying him about $11 million. He had a career season in 2024 and has seen some teammates receiver extensions from the new Las Vegas brass this offseason. On the other hand, the Raiders may...

On a day with potential major movement at wide receiver, the Las Vegas Raiders have made a surprising move with a familar face as they have agreed to sign wide receiver Amari Cooper.

Cooper is signing a one-year contract with the Raiders according to several reports.

The Cooper agreement comes hours after reports surfaced that Raiders’ No. 1 wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is asking to be traded because he wants to a new contract.

Of course, Cooper’s signing could be connected to the Meyers’ development. However, there had been reports in recent days the Raiders were looking for veteran help....

At the time you’re reading this there’s a chance Treven Ma’ae made the Raiders initial 53 man roster, if it’s before Tuesday here’s the case for Ma’ae to be on the Raiders interior defensive line rotation. Ma’ae has made a strong case through three preseason games to not only make the roster but also crack the bottom of the rotation for the defensvie line, while also being a mainstay special teams player.

Background:

Ma’ae, originally from Kapolei, Hawaii attended Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas where he went on to become a 4 star prospect (No. 52 DE...
