The Las Vegas Raiders are far from favorites in a stacked AFC West populated by the Chiefs and Chargers, but Antonio Pierce’s team does have the makings of a potential spoiler in the division.

The Las Vegas Raiders added key help for presumed starting quarterback Aidan O’Connell in the 2024 NFL Draft with offensive players taken in the first three picks.

While most of the buzz for the NFL Draft is reserved for the top of the event, there are always undrafted gems who not only find their way onto rosters but make an impact after doing so. In 2023, there is one Las Vegas Raiders undrafted free agent who has a real chance to fit […]

The 2024 NFL Draft was full of twists and turns. One result of the Falcons picking Michael Penix Jr. at eighth overall was that none of the top six QBs was on the board for the Raiders at 13. As a result, the team was forced to make a choice and ultimately went with tight […]

In late April, the Las Vegas Raiders took a step into the future by selecting former Georgia football tight end Brock Bowers with the 13th overall pick in the NFL Draft, which took place in Detroit. The Raiders have long lacked depth at that position, and although their quarterback situation still remains somewhat of a […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have a murky QB situation. Before the 2024 NFL Draft, many experts expected the Raiders to be in play for one of the top six QBs in the draft. Las Vegas picked at 13th overall and were unlucky to find that six QBs went in the top 12, setting a new […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are hoping to compete again in the coming season. Antonio Pierce already has the full support of the coaching staff and stars like Maxx Crosby. They still need to patch up their woes on offense and it all started this offseason. The front office landed some good talent in free agency […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have been hard at work building their roster up this offseason, and they added a surefire weapon on offense in the 2024 NFL Draft when they selected Brock Bowers with the 13th overall pick of the draft. According to Terrion Arnold, though, he was very close to hearing his name get […]

With the 2024 NFL Draft in the rearview, teams like the Las Vegas Raiders are now preparing for the next phase, which is the start of OTAs. Including the start of NFL free agency and their eight draft picks, the Raiders have filled out a majority of their 90-man offseason roster. But that doesn’t mean […]

The Las Vegas Raiders made some franchise-defining picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.

However, one draft prospect recently explained how the Raiders could have easily had a very […]

Heading into the draft with question marks all over their roster, it should be no surprise that the Las Vegas Raiders invested high draft capital into upgrading… their tight end room. With Antonio Pierce taking over as head coach and Tom Telesco in as the next general manager, the new era starts off with a […]

The Las Vegas Raiders wanted (and needed) a quarterback at pick 13 in the 2024 NFL Draft but as the historic first round played out, the team missed out on the top six prospects who all went in the top 12. Instead, the team “settled” for Georgia tight end Brock Bowers, and the Raiders seem […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have made some major improvement this offseason.

Improving the offensive line has been a priority for the Raiders throughout the offseason — and they just added […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are building in the right direction. A 5-4 finish to the 2023 season under interim head coach Antonio Pierce was enough for the Raiders to name him the full-time man in charge. But now, they have to keep the momentum going. Las Vegas wanted to find a quarterback with the 13th […]

The Las Vegas Raiders continue to bolster their depth in attempts to rebound from their 8-9 campaign last year. After signing former Dallas Cowboys wideout Michael Gallup, the Raiders have landed another piece to round out the receiver room. Las Vegas signed former Los Angeles Charger Jalen Guyton on Monday, via Raiders PR. Guyton has […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have begun a new era under head coach Antonio Pierce. He was the team’s interim head coach for part of the 2023 season before signing a contract this offseason that cements Vegas’ commitment to the Pierce way. Pierce has a similar appeal to Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell. For one, […]

The Las Vegas Raiders missed out on all the quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft, so they’ll go into the season with Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew under center. So, it stands to reason they will be looking for a QB again next season, and in ESPN’s 2025 mock NFL Draft, Las Vegas makes a […]

It’s been days since the Atlanta Falcons pulled off a shocker in the NFL Draft. Holding the eighth overall pick, the team drafted quarterback Michael Penix Jr. — just two weeks after signing Kirk Cousins to a massive deal.

The Las Vegas Raiders are turning the corner on a new era after a roller-coaster 2023-24 season. The Raiders finished the year with an 8-9 record and failed to make the playoffs.

After six seasons and over 65 starts with the Dallas Cowboys, Michael Gallup has found a new home. The veteran wide receiver is signing a one-year deal worth up to $3 million with the Las Vegas Raiders, sources tell Adam Schefter. Gallup is coming off his worst season yet as a pro. He did not […]

The Las Vegas Raiders made eight picks in the 2024 NFL Draft and we have the grades for every one of them. Vegas coveted a quarterback this year, but with the wild way the first round of the draft fell, they missed out on the top six signal-callers. Instead, they took tight end Brock Bowers […]

The Las Vegas Raiders weren’t exactly quiet during the 2024 NFL Draft, as they made eight selections over seven rounds, but they didn’t make a single draft day trade in an effort to move up or down the board. However, recent reports suggest that it wasn’t for a lack of effort, and that they were […]

The first round of the NFL Draft is finally over. Some teams made some splash picks while others may have stumbled a bit. Either way, we take a look at the three biggest winners and losers of the first round. Now, it’s important to note that it takes time to really tell if a draft […]

The Las Vegas Raiders has selected tight end Brock Bowers out of Georgia with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Brock Bowers came into this draft as one of the most talented, sure-fire prospects there was, a definite first-rounder. That shouldn’t come as too surprising considering his family background. His mother […]

The 2024 NFL Draft officially begins on Thursday and it’s expected to be a QB-heavy first round. There are six possible signal-callers that could go in the top 32 picks and one of them is Washington Huskies standout Michael Penix Jr. After an impressive career in Seattle where he led the program to a national […]

The Las Vegas Raiders need a quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft, and after playing for new head coach Antonio Pierce at Arizona State, Heisman-winning quarterback Jayden Daniels reportedly wants to play for the Raiders.

Jayden Daniels rumors have been all over the place leading up to the NFL Draft. Many believe he’s a go-ahead top-three pick.

Although the Washington Commanders and New England Patriots […]

As the dust settles on a season of almosts and what-ifs, the Las Vegas Raiders find themselves at a pivotal crossroads.

When contract negotiations between Davante Adams and the Green Bay Packers broke down during the 2022 offseason, Adams was promptly traded to the Las Vegas Raiders for a pair of draft picks (a 1st and a 2nd).

The Las Vegas Raiders head into the 2024 NFL Draft with plenty of needs all over the field, but quarterback remains the biggest issue. While there may be a temptation to trade up for LSU QB Jayden McDaniels, the Raiders need to avoid doing so this year. Here is why they should pass on this […]

Tom Brady, also known as “The G.O.A.T.,” made headlines again on Thursday as he said would consider making a comeback to the NFL. This came as no shock to many, however. “I’m not opposed to it,” Brady said while appearing on an episode of DeepCuts with VicBlends. “I don’t know if they’re gonna let me, […]

The Las Vegas Raiders don’t have an inspiring quarterback room. They can change that with a single pick in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft where they will be selecting from the No. 13 spot overall. However, that doesn’t seem to be ideal enough for Las Vegas to expect that it will be getting one of […]

Derek Carr’s first season with the New Orleans Saints didn’t exactly go according to plan, but he’s hoping the 2024 campaign will bring better things for him and his new team. One game he will surely have circled on his calendar is when he goes up against his former team in the Las Vegas Raiders, […]
