Raiders Eye Nakobe Dean for Linebacker Boost

Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

The Las Vegas Raiders, facing a long-standing linebacker gap, are likely to lose Devin White to free agency. Elandon Roberts may return for depth, but the teams new defensive coordinator, Rob Leonard, is shifting to a three-four scheme, making the position even more critical. One potential fit is Nakobe Dean, a 25-year-old Eagles linebacker about to hit free agency. Despite injury-plagued seasons, Dean has shown force when healthy, racking up over a hundred tackles and sacks in 2024. Fans and analysts see him as a strong fit due to his athleticism and connection with the Raiders new linebacker coach. Teams like the Vikings, Chargers, Saints, Cowboys, and Giants are also in the mix, but a projected three-year, $36 million deal could bring Dean to the Raiders, helping solidify their revamped defense for next season.
