The Las Vegas Raiders seemingly turned a corner during the preseason, as the new-look roster posted two dominant victories to open the slate. However, as is customary with Raider Nation, the good times couldn’t last. Disgruntled veteran Chandler Jones has missed the offseason program — and on Tuesday, he made sure to let everyone know why.
Raider Nation is still riding on a high after Josh Jacobs’ return to the organization last month. In a souped-up one-year pact, the star ball carrier added some extra cash to his would-be franchise tag and thus found common ground with the Vegas front office. Since returning to the building, Jacobs has been nothing but …

Any time a star player is rumored to be on the move, you can guarantee Raider Nation is campaigning for the franchise to acquire them. It is hard to blame the fan base for these expectations, especially with the acquisition of All-Pro wideout Davante Adams last offseason. Could Cardinals safety Budda Baker be a target for Vegas at some point in 2023?
The Silver and Black roster looked far more competitive this preseason than the one we watched last season. A mind-blowing 42 members of the current roster are Dave Ziegler draft picks or signings.

The seventh round of an NFL Draft is typically where NFL front offices make some dart throws. The strategy that late in the event is to bet on singular high-end traits to find rotational players. Las Vegas Raiders general manager Dave Ziegler is no stranger to looking in obscure places to find talent.

The Miami Dolphins inked the 27-year-old to a three-year pact worth up to $17.2 million, keeping him tied to the organization through the 2026 season. Not bad for the former Las Vegas Raiders’ star.
General manager Dave Ziegler has been busy, from bringing in a different quarterback to adding some juice to the defense. However, after finding an undrafted gem at linebacker, the Raiders released Drake Thomas, allowing him to hit waivers.
The Las Vegas Raiders floundered to an abysmal 6-11 record in 2022. Head coach Josh McDaniels failed to mesh with incumbent quarterback Derek Carr, while the defense had more holes than Swiss cheese. Now, after a relatively successful offseason, all signs are pointing up for the Raiders — especially their rookie draft class led by …

After a strenuous offseason of constant back and forth, Raider Nation finally got some good news on Saturday. Josh Jacobs has been searching for a lucrative long-term extension from Vegas, even threatening to continue his holdout into the regular season.
The Las Vegas Raiders signed not one but two former New England Patriot quarterbacks this offseason. Jimmy Garoppolo, rightfully so, hogs the spotlight in Vegas, but veteran Brian Hoyer was a notable signing in his own right — at least at the time. Now, with the emergence of Aidan O’Connell, the writing is on the wall for Hoyer’s eventual departure.
