Pair of veteran defensive backs coaches key to shaping up young defensive backs group in Las Vegas
With the oldest cornerback and safety being 27 and 29 years old, respectively, the Las Vegas Raiders secondary is a young group overall.
It’s a group of 12 defensive backs that are 25 years of age and under and the unit in total numbers 17. Of course, that sum will dwindle in due time. The Silver & Black’s roster, like the other 31 teams in the NFL, are at the bloated 90-man limit. Come cut-down day to the 53-man roster, swaths of released...

Las Vegas Raiders superstar takes fans behind the scenes of Adams’ issues during recent podcast
The Las Vegas Raiders had an ugly breakup with wide receiver Davante Adams after two and a half years in Las Vegas. Adams was unhappy at the end of his tenure and forced a trade to the New York Jets, which left a bad taste in the mouths of Raider Nation.
Adams continues to discuss his former team’s situation, which keeps the topic alive even after he joined the Los Angeles Rams. It has even become a consistent question for former Raiders players.

If Las Vegas kicker had his way, there’d be less touchbacks and more action on kickoffs
While he didn’t hit us with that classic “I’m just ‘bout that action, boss” line from Marshawn Lynch, Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson is indeed ‘bout that action.
Because, if it were up the the Silver & Black’s place kicker, touchbacks would become rare as his kickoffs would put the ball in play.
With the NFL tweaking the kickoff rule this offseason, it’s no surprise to hear Carlson feel this way. The league advanced the touchback dead ball spot from the 30- to...

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll has seen immense growth for DJ Glaze during OTAs
The Las Vegas Raiders' offensive line had an up-and-down season in 2024 with a young group. One of the young players was DJ Glaze, drafted in the third round out of Maryland. Glaze got a chance to start 15 games after injuries allowed him to see the field early last year.
There were rumors of the Raiders drafting a tackle early, right up into the call of the first pick. John Spytek drafted two offensive linemen in the third round, with Charles Grant becoming...

Special teams coach Tom McMahon says there’s no shortage of interest in return man, specialist in Las Vegas
Can’t quite grasp the NFL’s most recent rule change when it comes to kickoffs?
You’re likely not alone.
But leave it to Las Vegas Raiders special teams boss Tom McMahon to break it down in layman’s terms. The long-time special teams coach provides neat context on the league moving the dead ball spot on touchbacks to the 35-yard line.
“I think the biggest change is last year there were 2,800 kickoffs and 2,000 or more touchbacks. So, there’s 900 returns or...

Head coach provided an update before the team broke for summer
Despite being 73, going on 74 years old, Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll is known for having plenty of energy as a coach.
Perhaps the best example comes from the Raiders’ recent OTAs and mandatory minicamp practices, where Carroll has been seen wrestling offensive and defensive linemen during the team’s stretching period. Though he was asked about the ‘match’ with tackle Thayer Munford Jr. and clarified, “I wasn’t wrestling with him. I pinned him.”
The point is, energy at practice is important to the head coach, and...

Raiders may have made a big decision
Recently, former Las Vegas Raiders general manager Tom Telesco explained on a podcast that the team might have drafted Oregon quarterback Bo Nix if he were available with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
Nix, though, of course, was drafted by the Raiders’ AFC West rival, the Denver Broncos exactly one pick ahead of the Raiders’ choice at No. 12. Nix was a fast success for the Broncos and was a good fit for Denver coach Sean Payton’s offense and looks to have a great future ahead of him....
