The Las Vegas Raiders rookies report to training camp in 13 days and yet two of their 10 member 2026 draft class remain unsigned.

Yet, many Raiders fans are not worried about it. I agree.

Las Vegas has yet to sign first-round pick (and No. 1 overall choice) quarterback Fernando Mendoza and fourth-round pick, cornerback Jermod McCoy. There are currently less than 10 unsigned draft pick around the league and two of them are Raiders.

Still, I don’t think there’s much to be concerned about.

The only first-round draft picks who are unsigned are Mendoza and fellow quarterback Ty Simpson,...

Pro Football Focus has been known over the past 20 years as the premier data-based football website avaialble.

Some people give it more credence than others, but there player grading system is paid attention to be many. They recently released their All-time PFF team during its existence and there are several former Raiders’ players who were honored.

They were:

WR: First team, Antonio Brown. I know, I know, but he was a Raider on paper; second team, Davante Adams.

Edge: First team, Khalil Mack.

CB: Second team, Casey Hayward

Slot: Second team, Charles Woodson.

Oh, and Raiders’ minority owner Tom...

For the longest time, I asked this question in jest: Which position group will the Silver & Black fix first: Linebacker or quarterback?

The reason for the tongue-in-cheek query should be obvious. Outside of some fleeting moments here and there, the Las Vegas Raiders conundrum at the two position groups remained ever-present.

This offseason, however, the Silver & Black made a concerted effort to solve the long-standing issues at the two position groups. General manager John Spytek and his personnel crew alongside contracts guru Tom Delaney and Julia Ayres combined to spend cap space on signing Nakobe Dean and Quay...

One of the few pleasant surprises from the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster last season was the emergence of free-agent signing/cornerback Eric Stokes. He went from being a first-round bust with the Green Bay Packers to becoming the Raiders’ No. 1 cornerback, giving Las Vegas’ secondary some credibility when it comes to the position rankings in the AFC West. So, how does Stokes stack up against the Denver Broncos’, Kansas City Chiefs’ and Los Angeles Chargers’ corners?

All stats referenced below are from the regular season unless otherwise noted.

2025 Stats: 47 tackles, 1 INT,...

The Las Vegas Raiders are set to start training camp within the next month, and as they gear up for an interesting 2026 season, a few players and/or position groups can really make or break the season. The Raiders added a plethora of talent over the last off-season, with the Raiders likely to only return starters at left & right tackle, tight end, runningback, and one wide receiver on offense. Defensively, they likely return 3 starers on the defensive line, one at safety, one at corner, and none at linebacker. Needless, to say the Raiders are turning over the roster...

We’re two weeks away from the Las Vegas Raiders starting training camp, as rookies will report on July 23. So the return of Raiders’ football is on the horizon. But this also means we have a couple of weeks to get those last few questions about the roster or whatever else you can think of for the mailbag before we start getting into camp and the preseason.

As always, anything Raiders-related is on the table and fire away with anything that’s on your mind. Send your questions my way by either dropping a comment in the comments section below, tweeting...

We will see if Aidan O’Connell will remain in the quarterback room for the Las Vegas Raiders this season when the 53-man roster is set.

But many Raiders’ fans believe the fourth-year player will, indeed, be part of the squad as we asked in a FEED post poll recently.

He has been the subject of trade speculation all offseason and the reasoning is obvious. There is no apparent future for the 2023 fourth-round pick with the franchise. The long-term future, of course, is No. 1 overall pick, rookie Fernando Mendoza and the immediate future may be veteran free-agent addition Kirk...

Yes, AJ Cole is a sublime punting talent and he’s fun to watch.

But we need to see him play less this season. The average number of punts in an NFL game is down acr0ss the league. But not in Las Vegas.

A recent post on X by NFL analyst (and former Raiders’ employee) Ryan Paganetti shows that the average number of punts per team is way down. The league average in 2025 was 3.58 punts per game.

The Raiders among the league leaders with a 4.29 per game punting average. One of the reasons why Klint Kubiak was hired...

As the chief offensive play caller, how Klint Kubiak maximizes wide receiver Jalen Nailor will say a lot about the head coach’s prowess.

Inking a three-year, $35.03 million contract, with $23 million guaranteed ($18 million at signing) with the Las Vegas Raiders, the Silver & Black paid a pretty penny to bring the Nevada native back home. While it was far from top of the market coin for the wideout, the $11.67 million per year average is quite steep for a receiver that’s never eclipsed 445 yards receiving in his four-year stint in the NFL thus far.

Those contract numbers...

The Las Vegas Raiders are shifting to a 3-4 base defense, though I doubt they will be sitting out of base defense for most of the season, and if that if they will even be in the 3-4 system all that often. Matt Holder recently published an article breaking down the plan for Rob Leonard and I highly suggest taking a look at such. Leonard has preached fundamentals on defense, but he’s also preached a few other key tones aggression, attack, pursuit, and communication.

While every defense has preached such, the biggest is execution on defense. Leonard should be aggressive...
