2h ago
All of the talk this offseason for the Las Vegas Raiders has been focused on their need to find a franchise quarterback to lead this team for years to come. But the Raiders do have a young signal caller already on the roster in Aidan O’Connell. A fourth-round pick last season, O’Connell wound up starting 10 games for the Raiders and garnered the trust of many inside that locker room. While he didn’t blow everyone away, O’Connell was solid and steady while showing flashes of being a good NFL starter. But with the team signing veteran Gardner Minshew, and the likelihood of the team using a dra ..read more

With the 2024 NFL Draft coming up, what the Las Vegas Raiders will do remains anyone’s guess. The new regime led by general manager Tom Telesco has some big decisions to make, and their ability to hit in this draft could lead to a return to the postseason for the franchise. Of course, much of the focus has been on the quarterback position and whether the Raiders will look to trade up in the first round to take someone like LSU’s Jayden Daniels. But it is also very possible the team could stay at 13 and look to fill other positions with that first-round pick. And according to ESPN’s Jordan Re ..read more

Raiders News: Tom Brady ‘Not Opposed’ To Late-Season NFL Return

A couple of months ago, Tom Brady said that he was retired from the NFL ‘for good.’ Considering he has plans to work for FOX Sports as a broadcaster and is inching closer to becoming a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, it would seem that Brady has his eyes set on his post-playing career. However, as is often the case with many athletes, it can be challenging to overcome the desire to step back on the field or court and suit up one more time. And now, Brady isn’t quite ready to completely rule out a possible comeback. In a recent podcast appearance, Brady was asked about that possibili ..read more

As the 2024 NFL Draft approaches, the Las Vegas Raiders have many potential quarterback options. The team could trade up for someone like Jayden Daniels, move back, or possibly wait until the second round for someone like Michael Penix Jr. or Bo Nix, but there’s no guarantee they will last that long.

It came as quite a big surprise when the New England Patriots released talented young cornerback Jack Jones in the middle of just his second season in the NFL. But the Raiders jumped on the opportunity to bring him in with head coach Antonio Pierce’s previous relationship with Jones, making it a no-brainer. Jones quickly became one of the Raiders’ top cornerbacks, finishing the year with a pair of interceptions, both of which were returned for touchdowns, to go along with four passes defensed. But Jones’ time with the Patriots did not end on the best of terms and there is still no love lost ..read more

Even though the Las Vegas Raiders did not have the ultimate team success they were looking for last season, the team still had plenty of positives to speak on. One of those was an addition they made last offseason in wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. Meyers paired with Davante Adams to form one of the best receiver duos in the NFL. In his first year with the Raiders, and despite inconsistent quarterback play, Meyers finished the year with 71 catches for 807 yards and eight touchdowns while also adding a pair of rushing touchdowns. Meyers’ former team, the New England Patriots, certainly could hav ..read more

There is no doubt now that Maxx Crosby is one of the best defensive linemen in the entire NFL. One thing that makes the Las Vegas Raiders’ star so tough to deal with is his relentlessness, as he gives maximum effort on every single play, never stops coming, and never backs down from a challenge. This was on display from the moment Crosby took the practice field for the Raiders. The franchise had just signed Trent Brown to a four-year deal and he was viewed as one of the best at his position in the league, which just made Crosby want to go at him even more. Crosby recently told this story on ..read more

The Las Vegas Raiders offense will look a lot more different in the 2024 season as they’ll have a new starting quarterback and running back leading the way. As things stand, Gardner Minshew is expected to be the new starter, although head coach Antonio Pierce hasn’t ruled out Aidan O’Connell as an option. For the backfield, Zamir White is slated to take over lead back duties after Josh Jacobs signed with the Green Bay Packers in free agency. However, there’ll be some continuity in the wide receiver room as both Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers are set to man the No. 1 and No. 2 positions, res ..read more
