Back to EpisodesRaiders' Offseason Moves: Stacked Linebackers, Draft Needs
Description
The Las Vegas Raiders kicked off the 2026 NFL season with a flurry of moves, securing the most salary cap space and signing big-name free agents. The team retained star edge rusher Maxx Crosby, and new general manager John Spytek and offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak reshaped the roster. They traded away Geno Smith, leaving Aidan OConnell as the lone quarterback, and locked in Ashton Jeanty at running back. The team also built a strong tight end group around Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer. Fans are excited about the teams strengths, such as a stacked linebacker crew and promising defensive line, but there are concerns about the lack of a true number one wide receiver and the need for depth in the secondary. The team will look to address these issues in the draft, focusing on quarterback, receiver, and defensive back positions.
