One of the biggest questions for head coach Antonio Pierce and the Las Vegas Raiders this season regards the quarterback position, as there is no clear number one option at the number one slot heading into 2024. After taking over as head coach midway through last year, Pierce opted to go with then rookie Aidan […]

As the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2024 NFL training camp rolls on, there are good reports and bad coming out of Antonio Pierce’s first preseason as head coach. On the plus side, the defense — which is Pierce’s specialty — has looked great, especially young players like second-year cornerback Jakorian Bennett. However, there are also players who […]

In what looks to be the tightest race for an NFL starting quarterback, the wait will be over soon. Head coach Antonio Pierce is set to name the Las Vegas Raiders’ starting quarterback after their next preseason game. With one preseason game down, a 24-23 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, and little clarity on who […]

For those following the Las Vegas Raiders training camp and and their lukewarm quarterback battle, a preseason-opening 24-23 loss to the Minnesota Vikings was far more exciting. Aidan O’Connell kicked the game off with a 15-play, 83-yard drive that resulted in a field goal. On the next three possessions in the second quarter, Gardner Minshew […]

Davante Adams will be back with the Las Vegas Raiders after he left the team for the birth of his son. The star receiver will return on Aug. 11, according to Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce.

The Minnesota Vikings may have their quarterback of the future in the fold, but all of the fans who are eager to spend their Sunday’s chanting “Skol!” shouldn’t be in too much of a hurry to see JJ McCarthy in regular season action, because even after a successful preseason debut in a 24-23 win over the […]

The Las Vegas Raiders weren’t playing at Allegiant Stadium on Friday night, but someone else was.

The Las Vegas Raiders are going through a transition period under center. Journeyman Gardner Minshew and unproven youngster Aidan O’Connell are their two top options, so they don’t anticipate being a great offense. What should be helpful, though, is Brock Bowers coming along nicely. Bowers, the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and […]

There’s nothing in sports like a trade frenzy surrounding a coveted player. We’re seeing this play out again with the San Francisco 49ers-Brandon Aiyuk trade saga. As of Wednesday, the elite wideout remains with the 49ers pending a successful trade with any team willing to take on Aiyuk’s contract. Moreover, another wrinkle stalling a potential […]

The main goal of the Las Vegas Raiders in the first season of the Tom Telesco/Antonio Pierce era is to make the postseason.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams will miss more days of training camp while waiting for the birth of his son. Adams has already missed two days of the NFL training camp after his return to Vegas to be with his expecting wife. On the whole, the message seems to be not to hold your […]

With the 2024 regular season moving ever closer for the Las Vegas Raiders, veteran Gardner Minshew and second year signal caller Aidan O’Connell are currently locked into a competition for the starting quarterback role.

The Las Vegas Raiders are in the midst of a training camp QB battle. Veteran Gardner Minshew and second-year QB Aidan O’Connell will duke it out for the right to be the team’s starter in 2024. Head coach Antonio Pierce has insisted that the two QBs get the same amount of offseason reps, so it […]

There are some rivalries in the NFL that run so deep that it feels odd to see the key figures on either side of the rivalry interacting in a manner that is even remotely positive or friendly. It doesn’t always work like this, in large part because fans oftentimes care far more about these things […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are entering a new era under first-year head coach Antonio Pierce. The former interim head coach will now have a real chance to put his mark on both the roster and the whole Raiders organization. Pierce hasn’t wasted much time.

Washington Commanders fans might want to cover their ears and look away from this news.

The Raiders […]

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce isn’t asking much from his quarterbacks at this time, except for one thing. The new head coach of the team is wanting his gunslingers to take the mantle of starter and run with it. “I’d like to see — again, I’m gonna keep saying it — somebody to […]

Former Las Vegas (then Oakland) Raiders head coach Jon Gruden has been out of a job for the last three years after emails containing racist, homophobic, and misogynistic emails he had written many years ago leaked.

Since tackle Evan Neal and center John Michael Schmitz remain sidelined with injuries, the New York Giants have signed veteran guard Greg Van Roten to bolster their offensive line. In a corresponding move, cornerback Aaron Robinson was released. The Giants’ offensive line has been a recurring issue heading into this season. With the protection surrounding […]

The Las Vegas Raiders’ 2023 campaign was a roller coaster. A 3-5 start and a disappointing Monday Night loss to the Detroit Lions prompted them to fire head coach Josh McDaniels.

Quarterback Aidan O’Connell heads into Las Vegas Raiders training camp with an opportunity to compete for the starting job for the 2024 season.

The Las Vegas Raiders are poised to take a leap in Antonio Pierce’s first full season as the team’s head coach. Pierce breathed fresh life into a floundering Raiders operation.

There were likely countless people who raced to check their calendars after a video circulated of the Las Vegas Raiders mocking Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes with a Kermit the Frog doll at training camp on Thursday. They soon realized that it was in fact not the year 2003 or 1984. That further raises […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have always been a hard-nosed and irreverent organization that never demonstrates any fear of its opponents.

With the Las Vegas Raiders starting training camp this week, one of the more significant storylines will be the quarterback competition between signal-callers Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew.

The Las Vegas Raiders have a solid all-around team heading into what should be a season of Instant Classics in the AFC West vs. Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers, Andy Reid’s Chiefs and Sean Payton’s Broncos.

Davante Adams remains one of the very best wide receivers in the NFL.
