5 Undrafted Free Agents with best chance to make Las Vegas Raiders’ 53-man roster

Even after making 10 selections during the 2026 NFL draft, general manager John Spytek was busy adding 17 undrafted free agents to the roster. Of course, the Raiders are a long way away from having to settle in on a 53-man roster, but let’s take an early look at a few UDFAs who have a good chance to make the cut, considering who is in front of them on the depth chart.

WR E.J. Williams

Wide receiver is one of the biggest remaining holes on Las Vegas’ roster after the draft. Many expected the club to prioritize the position,...

Las Vegas Raiders 2025 Rookies Standing for 2026

Las Vegas Raiders 2025 Rookies Standing for 2026

The Las Vegas Raiders saw around league average production from their rookie class last season, largely because of a struggle to see the field, or the team deciding to play aging veterans over them. 2025 saw Las Vegas select 11 rookies, and most took snaps for Las Vegas last season. With a roster seeing a large amount of turnover due to new coaches, the opportunities for some “sophomores” to take a jump & see more playtime is very likely.

RB Ashton Jeanty: Starting RB
2025: 17 Games (770 snaps) | 266 attempts, 975 yards (3.7 ypc), 5 TD, 55 rec,...

Taron Johnson contract issue: What to know

New Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Taron Johnson reportedly is staying away from the voluntary offseason workout program because he wants a contract adjustment.

Here’s what to know about the situation:

It’s fairly minor for now:

These things happen all the time around the league. That’s way this portion of the year is coined ”voluntary.” Yes, the Raiders’ brass is likely a little annoyed, but it’s all part of the business and it’s simply a process that happens this time of year.

They can solve it:

This shouldn’t be too complicated to fix if the Raiders want. They have the salary-cap...

Raiders roster: 3 undrafted rookies who can make noise

Raiders roster: 3 undrafted rookies who can make noise

Much of the attention will be focused on the 10 prospects the Las Vegas Raiders selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. And for good reason.

The Silver & Black had the top overall selection and snared what it hopes to be the long-term solution a the quarterback position in Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza.

Over the course of the seven-round draft, general manager John Spytek and head coach Klint Kubiak combined to bolster a roster very much in need of talent infusion. The team tackled areas of need on both offense and defense including taking a flier on cornerback Jermod McCoy by...

Raiders CB Taron Johnson is looking for a new contract

Raiders CB Taron Johnson is looking for a new contract

The Las Vegas Raiders made plenty of moves this offseason to help bolster the defense. One of those moves was a trade for cornerback Taron Johnson from the Buffalo Bills for a sixth round pick in 2026 NFL draft. Johnson was brought in to bring a veteran presence in the secondary and help fill a need at the slot corner position.

Johnson is turning 30 years old in July and has two years left on his deal. However, none of the remaining years are guaranteed, leaving him vulnerable to being released by The Raiders. This has led Johnson to want...

Where Thomas Booker IV fits on Raiders’ 3-4 defensive front

Where Thomas Booker IV fits on Raiders’ 3-4 defensive front

Out went Brodric Martin. And in comes Benito Jones.

The Las Vegas Raiders moved on from one defensive tackle — waiving Martin with injured designation — and brought in another on this past Wednesday. Jones, standing 6-foot-1 and 335 pounds, heads into his sixth season in the NFL and the 28-year-old undrafted free agent jumps into the wide-open nose tackle fray.

Jones certainly fits the bill of a space-eating presence in the middle of a 3-4 defensive front and the Mississippi product has the requisite build as a squatty and thick interior defender. He’s comfortable operating over the center or...

Mailbag: Is Jackson Powers-Johnson a trade candidate?

The schedule for the 2026 NFL season is out, so we know when the Las Vegas Raiders will be playing and can start planning out any roadtrips for away games. However, the downside is that it also means we’re about to be in the dog days of summer, where there isn’t a whole lot going on around the league. But we still have the mailbag to get to, and this week’s focus is on the roster, upcoming minicamp and OTA practices, and training camp.

A: I’d be surprised if anything happens with Jackson Powers-Johnson between now and the beginning of...

Las Vegas Raiders win contest for best logo in NFL

Las Vegas Raiders win contest for best logo in NFL

While plenty of teams in the NFL go back and forth re-designing their logos, there’s a reason why the Las Vegas Raiders have had minimal changes since 1964: You don’t mess with perfection.

The Raiders logo is iconic, featuring a silver and black shield, an eye-patched pirate with an old school football helmet on, and a couple of swords behind his head to serve as a symbol that everyone wearing it is ready for battle. In a way, it perfectly captures the tough, rugged reputation that the organization has been about since its inception.

While Raider Nation knows it’s the...
