Brock Bowers gets more involved in Las Vegas Raiders’ offense again

Brock Bowers gets more involved in Las Vegas Raiders’ offense again

Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2024 draft class fared in a 33-16 home loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11 and what it means looking ahead to Sunday’s home game against the Cleveland Browns.

Brock Bowers:

Raiders’ offensive coordinator Chip Kelly didn’t do much right in Week 11, but he did address his Bowers’ issues from the Denver game. Bowers played a season-high 96 percent of the snaps and was targeted 12 times, his second most of the season. Bowers was targeted just three times against the Broncos. Bowers has to be focal point...

Aidan O’Connell is activated to Las Vegas Raiders 53-man roster

The Las Vegas Raiders have decided to go with three quarterbacks on their active roster.

On the day his 21-day window from being elevated from the injured reserve was to expire, the Raiders activated Aidan O’Connell. He will take the place of safety Chris Smith on the 53-man roster. Smith was waived Tuesday. O’Connell was a fourth-round draft pick n 2023 and Smith was a fifth-round pick the same year.

O’Connell now joins starting quarterback Geno Smith and fellow reserve Kenny Pickett on the 53-man roster. Cam Miller, a sixth-round pick, is on the practice squad.

Evaluating a contract extension for Jeremy Chinn

Evaluating a contract extension for Jeremy Chinn

The Las Vegas Raiders signed safety Jeremy Chinn to a 2 year, 16 million deal this off-season with 12.25 million guaranteed in order to bolster their safety position.

Chinn was coming off a 2024 season that saw him log 117 tackles, 7 TFL, 2 sacks, an interception, 5 PBU, and 2 forced fumbles with the Commanders and the 6’3/225 safety has been a near replica this season for the Raiders. Chinn has posted 65 tackles, 3 TFL, 3 pass breakups, and a forced fumble this season with 17 stops and just 5 missed tackles. A large reason for a small...

Many  team will want a quarterback in next 2 offseasons?

Many team will want a quarterback in next 2 offseasons?

There is, no doubt, the Las Vegas Raiders will be looking to draft a quarterback in the near future.

That has been a possibility in the past three drafts, but it never lined up.

Now, the Raiders have to figure when they are going to draft a quarterback as early as possible. the way Geno Smith is playing, it may be best for the team to try to take a quarterback in 2026.

Yet, Raider’s minority owner Tom Brady fueled some speculation recently that the team could opt to wait to the 2027 draft when he heaped high praise on...

Shedeur Sanders will make starting debut against Las Vegas Raiders

In the past couple of years, many people would have guessed quarterback Shedeur Sanders would make his starting debut at Allegiant Stadium.

However, just not with the Cleveland Browns. Yet, here we are.

Sanders was considered a prime draft candidate for the Las Vegas Raiders. However, the team bypassed him several times before the Colorado product’s freefall ended when the Browns drafted him in the fifth round.

Sunday, as expected, Sanders will start his first NFL game for the Browns at the Raiders. Kickoff is at 1:05 p.m.

The Browns announced Sanders will start on Wednesday with rookie starting quarterback...

Las Vegas Raiders not doing Ashton Jeanty any favors

Las Vegas Raiders not doing Ashton Jeanty any favors

Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ rookie class fared in a 33-16 home loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11 and what it means looking ahead to Sunday’s home game against the Cleveland Browns.

Ashton Jeanty:

The No. 6 overall draft pick isn’t having a great season and a lot of it is out of his control. He isn’t getting much help from the offensive line and the coaching staff isn’t helping much, either. The Dallas game was a prime example. Jeanty had just six carries (two in the first half) for seven yards. Offensive...

Time to draft another Maxx Crosby

Time to draft another Maxx Crosby

The Las Vegas Raiders are in the midst of another disappointing season and the attention will turn to the 20206 offseeason and the draft in less than two months.

While the Raiders will have a lot of needs, starting at quarterback, a focus of roster improvement most be on defense. The Raiders simply don’t have enough playmakers on the unit and need more youthful impact.

Yes, it’s time to draft another true playmaker on the defensive side of the ball. Check out this X post, which shows the last team every AFC Team has drafted a Pro Bowl player.

Evaluating DJ Glaze’s future on Las Vegas Raiders OL

Evaluating DJ Glaze’s future on Las Vegas Raiders OL

The Raiders selected Delmar Glaze with the 77th overall selection in the 2024 NFL draft and Glaze immediately made waves taking the starting RT position where he started all 17 games and in 998 snaps allowed 3 sacks and 51 pressures along with 4.1 ypc as a lead blocker (which was among the highest for the OL in 2024). Glaze had his issues with a large pressure rate and the tendency to struggle at times with twitchy quick footed pass rushers that were able to bend the edge against him and get into the backfield to create pressure on the...
