Raiders weren't going to draft Bo Nix but badly need their own version of rookie

Raiders coach Antonio Pierce was impressed with Bo Nix going into the 2024 NFL Draft, praised the rookie quarterback ahead of his team's first game against him and has only gotten more complimentary heading into the rematch. Pierce needed one word to describe his feelings on the Denver Broncos' rookie quarterback — “winner,” giving the 24 year old out of the University of Oregon much credit for the AFC West divisional rival's recent uptick. The Broncos (6-5) currently sit in the final playoff spot in the AFC standings largely because of the way Nix has improved starting in a Week 5 win over the Raiders (2-8).

Does Davante Adams regret trade from Raiders to Jets? Here's what he said

Wide receiver Davante Adams orchestrated a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders to the New York Jets in the hopes of finding a better situation in the Big Apple, but things have not gone according to plan. Adams has made zero different in the Jets' season, and New York is 1-4 since his arrival and is currently 3-8 overall. Adams did his weekly spot on "Up & Adams" with Kay Adams on Tuesday and said he is not paying attention to the talk about what turned out to be a lateral move. “If you had bet me a million dollars, I would have taken the bet we would not have only had one victory right now,” Adams said.

Raiders DE Maxx Crosby says doubt, negativity will fuel his midseason resurgence

Raiders All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby is the leader of a 2-8 team and has just 6.5 sacks this season. But he says he’s far from done wreaking havoc on the NFL this year, and he’ll use doubt and negativity surrounding him as motivation.


Crosby’s sack total is lower than expected given his career-best 14.5 sacks last season and high expectations for the Raiders defense this year. The defense has been decimated by injuries though. The loss of defensive tackle Christian Wilkins is especially devastating for Crosby, as Wilkins was supposed to be Crosby’s equal on the inside.


That’s just a sampling of what’s gone wrong for the Raiders this year. Crosby appeared on The Rush podcast and had trouble describing exactly how bad it’s been.


“It’s been a [tough] season, to say the least. I seriously can’t describe the feeling, being part of such a tough year,” he said. “You couldn’t have told me this was going to be the result.


“But at the end of the day, seven games left — and that’s all we can do. Take it one game at a time, continue to get better and improve.”


Crosby has been fueled by team and individual goals since he arrived in the NFL, and he said that won’t change down the stretch this season.


“My goals never change,” he said. “I love the doubt. I love the negativity. It’s just another opportunity to rise, and I plan on doing that. Keep leading, keep showing up, keep being the example, and that’s all I can do.”


As for the Raiders’ latest loss in Miami, Crosby said he missed some chances to make a larger impact but still felt he played well. He also played every snap on defense, as per usual.


“There were a lot of opportunities. Not every game you’re going to show up on the stat sheet.”


It’s clear that Crosby wants to make a larger impact on the stat sheet as he’s accustomed to. He knows he’s still recognized among his peers as one of the best but wants the entire world to know, too.


“I know what I’m doing. The [other] teams know what I’m doing. The people that matter know what I’m doing,” he said. “Keep sleeping. I love it. I live for it. I plan on responding in a big way. And I can’t wait to do that.


“I love a challenge. I love it when I’m being doubted. I feel like I’m constantly being slept on and it’s my duty to shut them up. That’s what I’m going to do. And I love it. I love when they doubt me and I feel like I’m at my best when my back’s against the wall.”


The Raiders have had their backs against the wall for much of Crosby’s tenure. He’s also fought through an injury this season after having surgery in the offseason. He’ll use tough times as motivation, but when he receives credit, Crosby says the positivity won’t be satisfying, either.


“The positivity’s the same thing. When all the positive stuff is going, that’s not where you build your character. You grow in character when it’s hard,” he said.


Crosby will seemingly never be satisfied until he’s recognized as one of the best defensive ends of his era and in NFL history. That’s what’s made him an elite competitor since he made a splash as a rookie from a small school.


But he desperately wants to lead a winning ballclub. It won’t happen this year, but that won’t stop Crosby from wreaking havoc on gameday, as he attempts to turn negative energy into a positive for himself, his teammates, his coaches, his fans, and his legacy.

As Davante Adams' situation with Jets gets worse, Raiders fans bask in the glory

When wide receiver Davante Adams forced his way out of the Las Vegas Raiders via a trade request, he thought he was going to a better situation with his buddy Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets. As dysfunctional as the Raiders can be, they are no match for the Jets, who are an absolute disaster right now. Granted, the Raiders are not in a good spot right now, but the Jets are even worse off because of the expectations they had entering the season. Since arriving in New York, Adams has made zero difference.

Former NFL Star Reveals Surprising Reason For Joining Raiders

Back in 2014 when the Las Vegas Raiders were still playing in Oakland, they signed one of the premier pass rushers on the free-agent market, landing former New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck. Tuck was at the back end of his career at the time, but he had just completed an impressive 2023 campaign in which he racked up 63 tackles and 11 sacks. The Raiders were hoping he would boost a defense in serious need of assistance, but Tuck struggled during his two years in the Bay, totaling 57 tackles and six sacks across 20 games. The Raiders were certainly not a very impressive team in general at the time, so Tuck's decision to join the club at that stage of his NFL tenure was somewhat puzzling.

Raiders' Bitter AFC Losing Grip On Playoff Spot?

The Las Vegas Raiders continue to fall further back in the division and currently have less than a one-percent chance at making the playoffs, but the rest of the AFC West division's playoff hopes are still alive. The Broncos had a rough start to their season, dropping the first two games, but have been able to flip their woes from early on in the year to getting back to and above .500. The win yesterday for the Broncos over the Atlanta Falcons was dominant. The Broncos have not been able to make their way back to the playoffs since winning the Super Bowl in 2015.

The Raiders (2-8) lost their sixth straight game. Tagovailoa led the Dolphins down the field with long, methodical drives — three of them more than seven minutes — that all ended in scores, as Miami scored 30 points for the first time this season.

Raiders' percentage chance to earn No. 1 pick per ESPN FPI entering Week 11

Coming into Sunday’s game in Miami against the Dolphins, the Raiders were hoping to ride some recent offensive coaching staff changes to some momentum in the season’s second half. But the team’s string of losses lately has plenty of Raiders fans shifting their focus elsewhere.


For instance…could the Raiders wind up with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft?


If the season ended today, the Raiders would own the No. 5 overall pick. If Las Vegas was selecting at No. 5, draft analysts have a wide range of opinions on what exactly the Raiders would do there.


Entering Week 11, what are the Raiders’ percentage chances to land the No. 1 overall draft pick?


According to ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI), Las Vegas owns the fifth-best odds to capture the No. 1 overall draft pick in the 2025 NFL draft.


Per ESPN FPI, Las Vegas has an 11.9% chance to earn the No. 1 pick. The Raiders have a 51.6% chance to earn a top-five pick according to ESPN FPI.


ESPN NFL draft analyst Jordan Reid shared what he thinks the Raiders would do with the No. 1 pick if they earn it.


(Shedeur) Sanders would help this team a lot. After two years of uneven play at quarterback and 10 weeks of seesawing between signal-callers, the Raiders are a strong contender to draft a passer in April. Remember, Las Vegas missed out on the top six guys in 2024, when they all went before the team was on the clock at No. 13. Sanders is an ideal fit; he has the poise, ball placement and charisma that fits perfectly with this organization. – Reid, ESPN.


Sanders could radically transform the Raiders’ franchise if Las Vegas earns the No. 1 pick and selects the Colorado star.


Here’s the teams with the top six percentage chances to earn the No. 1 pick per ESPN FPI entering Week 11 of the NFL season:



* New York Giants: 16.9% chance to earn No. 1 pick; 62.7% chance to earn top-five pick

* New England Patriots: 16.2% chance to earn No. 1 pick; 64.1% chance to earn top-five pick

* Jacksonville Jaguars: 15.4% chance to earn No. 1 pick; 59.2% chance to earn top-five pick

* Tennessee Titans: 13.8% chance to earn No. 1 pick; 54.2% chance to earn top-five pick

* Las Vegas Raiders: 11.9% chance to earn No. 1 pick; 51.6% chance to earn top-five pick

* Carolina Panthers: 10.0% chance to earn No. 1 pick; 57.1% to earn top-five pick






Kickoff between the Raiders and Dolphins in Week 11 is set for 10 a.m. PT with the game set to be televised on CBS.

Is Michael Mayer playing today? Injury updates for Raiders TE

Three games into this season, second-year tight end Michael Mayer left the team for personal reasons. The 2023 round two pick was later placed on the NFI list which is where he’d been the past four games. He returned to practice this week with the team coming out of their bye week.


TE Michael Mayer injury update




Michael Mayer was officially activated from the Non-Football Illness list Saturday and will play today in Miami.


Earlier this week head coach Antonio Pierce had expressed his excitement that ‘Big Mike” had returned to practice. On Friday, he added that Mayer was “trending up” in terms of the likelihood he would play this week.


“He’ss always been a part of the plan first and foremost,” Pierce continued. “But obviously with losing people through injuries or trades, I think there’s obviously an opportunity there for him. But really, I think just getting him back to par with our team, obviously new offensive coordinator there with Scott Turner and just getting back in the fold, you want to be smart with it. You want to be smart. But obviously Mike is a big part of our plans this year, this week and the future. So, the more we can get him involved, the better.”


Tight end depth chart




Mayer will be the second tight end for the Raiders along with top pick rookie Brock Bowers. Which means the two could both start the game, but Bowers should get the bulk of the snaps and targets.


Harrison Bryant will not play, which means the third tight end will be recent practice squad callup Justin Shorter.


Mayer has appeared in just three games this season, putting up four catches for 21 yards before leaving the team for personal reasons. The Raiders are hoping he’s fully ready to go for the latter half of the season, starting with today vs the Dolphins.

Is Nate Hobbs playing today? Injury updates for Raiders CB

The Raiders are in Miami to face a Dolphins team with some serious speed and talent on offense. But they’ll be without their top defensive back in that battle.


CB Nate Hobbs injury update




Hobbs was officially ruled OUT on the final injury report and thus will not play today.


He went out with an ankle injury against the Bengals before the Bye and was carted off the field. He hasn’t practiced this week at all and head coach Antonio Pierce said he is doubtful to play in the game.


Cornerback depth chart




The next man up at slot receiver will be Darnay Holmes who the Raiders signed off waivers just prior to the start of the season.


“Darnay is obviously familiar with the scheme. I’m familiar with him from way back in the day. He’s done a good job of just getting acclimated on special teams and obviously defensively he had a bigger role last week. If Nate is not able to go, that role will be covered.”


Holmes was a fourth round pick by the Giants back in 2020 out of UCLA and spent the past four seasons in New York, appearing in 63 games with 11 starts.


Pierce is likely familiar with Holmes having coached High School ball at Long Beach Poly while Holmes attended Calabasas High and then from coaching in the Pac-12 at Arizona State while Holmes was at UCLA.

Raiders schedule: Is Las Vegas playing today? 

Following a 41-24 loss at the Cincinnati Bengals on Nov. 3, the Las Vegas Raiders enjoyed a much-needed bye week but they return to action Today (Sunday) with a 10 a.m. PT (1pm ET) kickoff in Miami against Dolphins.


The Raiders (2-7) used the bye week to overhaul their offensive staff and to try to find a spark in the season’s second half. Las Vegas elevated Scott Turner from passing game coordinator to interim offensive coordinator and made Joe Philbin its interim offensive line coach.


The Raiders also brought in Norv Turner, Scott’s father and former Raiders head coach, as a senior adviser.


Las Vegas looks to snap a five-game losing streak and to avenge a 20-13 loss in Week 11 of last season to the Miami Dolphins.


Miami (3-6) is looking to win consecutive games for the first time this season when it welcomes in the Raiders to Hard Rock Stadium. The Dolphins opened their 2024 season with a 20-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion during Miami’s 31-10 loss versus the Buffalo Bills in Week 2.


Tagovailoa wouldn’t return as Miami’s starting quarterback until Week 8 against Arizona.


With kickoff approaching, here’s a look at the Raiders’ season so far and what Las Vegas has on the horizon.


Raiders 2024 schedule





* Week 1: at Los Angeles Chargers (L, 22-10)

* Week 2: at Baltimore Ravens (W, 26-23)

* Week 3 : vs Carolina Panthers (L, 36-22)

* Week 4: vs Cleveland Browns (W, 20-16)

* Week 5: at Denver Broncos (L, 34-18)

* Week 6: vs Pittsburgh Steelers (L, 32-13)

* Week 7: at Los Angeles Rams (L, 20-15)

* Week 8: vs Kansas City Chiefs (L, 27-20)

* Week 9: at Cincinnati Bengals (L, 41-24)

* Week 10: BYE WEEK

* Week 11: at Miami Dolphins

* Week 12: vs Denver Broncos

* Week 13: at Kansas City Chiefs

* Week 14: at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

* Week 15: vs Atlanta Falcons

* Week 16: vs Jacksonville Jaguars

* Week 17: at New Orleans Saints

* Week 18: vs Los Angeles Chargers

Key Las Vegas Raiders starter predicted to get lucrative contract

The Las Vegas Raiders will have some tough decisions to make on several key players in free agency in 2025, one of which is safety Tre'Von Moehrig. A former second-round pick of the Raiders in 2021, Moehrig has developed into a quality starter over the past few years but is also set to hit the free-agent market next year. The Raiders should have interest in bringing him back, but that will depend upon how the market shakes out for him. One NFL analyst, The 33rd Team's Marcus Mosher, believes that market is going to be robust.

The Las Vegas Raiders have an interesting offseason ahead. Barring a miraculous turnaround in the second half of the season, Coach Antonio Pierce's team could be headed for a full-fledged rebuild. The Raiders will have massive cap space and an appealing draft selection on the horizon, enough for Raider Nation to feel optimistic about where this thing could be going. The Raiders are in a unique position.

Raiders DB Continues to Emerge as Draft Gem

After finishing his collegiate career as a two-time All-Big Ten Honorable Mention nominee, the Las Vegas Raiders selected cornerback Jakorian Bennett in the fourth round of last year's NFL Draft. As talented as Bennett is, he struggled during his rookie season. This is usually true for most rookies, but Bennett was not just any rookie. Bennett entered last season as a starter, even though he was a rookie.

Where would the Raiders be drafting if the 2024 NFL season ended today?

With the Raiders mired in a five-game losing streak, fans may be battling with themselves a little bit.


Do you root for the Raiders to find the spark that head coach Antonio Pierce feels his offensive coaching staff changes could provide? Or, do you root for the Raiders to keep on losing and enter that No. 1 overall draft pick sweepstakes?


It’s an uncomfortable place to be as a fan, but it’s where Raider Nation finds itself all the same.


As the NFL season moves into Week 11, plenty of Raiders fans are monitoring what 2025 NFL mock draft boards look like and where Las Vegas will be picking.


If the season ended today, here’s a look at the first 10 picks and where the Raiders would be selecting given the current 2025 NFL draft order.


Current 2025 NFL draft order:





* No. 1 pick: Jacksonville Jaguars (2-8)

* No. 2 pick: New York Giants (2-8)

* No. 3 pick: Cleveland Browns (2-7)

* No. 4 pick: Tennessee Titans (2-7)

* No. 5 pick: Las Vegas Raiders (2-7)

* No. 6 pick: New England Patriots (3-7)

* No. 7 pick: Carolina Panthers (3-7)

* No. 8 pick: New York Jets (3-7)

* No. 9 pick: New Orleans Saints (3-7)

* No. 10 pick: Miami Dolphins (3-6)






NFL.com’s Chad Reuter included wide receiver, running back, defensive tackle and safety among the Raiders’ biggest 2025 NFL draft needs in addition to quarterback.


Here’s what Reuter had to say about the Raiders and the NFL draft entering Week 11.


The Raiders have the worst rushing attack in the NFL, averaging a league-low 76.9 yards per game and 3.5 yards per carry. Leading rusher Alexander Mattison and veteran Ameer Abdullah are both headed to free agency, while Zamir White has one year left on his deal. Selecting a dynamic ball-carrier in the top half of the draft should be a priority. – Reuter, NFL.com.


Even with the Raiders’ rushing offense ranking where it currently sits, it’s tough to envision Las Vegas spending the No. 5 overall pick or a selection in the top half of the first round on a running back. If the Raiders are sitting here at No. 5, there’s a great chance Las Vegas looks to find its future franchise signal-caller.


For fans hoping to see the Raiders draft either Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders or Miami quarterback Cam Ward, Las Vegas may need to leapfrog a pair of those quarterback-hungry franchises in front of them in the Giants, Browns and Titans.


The consensus at the moment seems to be that Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe could be an option if the Raiders wind up with the No. 5 overall selection.


It will be fascinating to monitor how the rest of this 2024 season plays out for the Raiders and how their 2025 NFL draft fortunes correlate.


The Raiders return to action on Sunday following their bye week with a trip to the Miami Dolphins with kickoff set for 10 a.m. PT on CBS.

Why Raiders' Offense Will Not Panic Under New Offensive Minds

The Las Vegas Raiders offense needs to come out competitive from start to finish. The Raiders offense under Luke Getsy had gotten off to fast starts but looked like an offense that did not know what to do after teams made adjustments. Offensive coordinator Scott Turner will look to make the offense good in all phases from the first quarter to the final second. The Raiders offense got another weapon back on offense.

Las Vegas Raiders at Miami Dolphins: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 11 game

The Miami Dolphins , fresh off a win during Monday Night Football over the Los Angeles Rams , are looking to re-establish themselves as spoilers in the AFC. So long as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is healthy, this Dolphins ' offense has the explosiveness to beat anyone in the NFL . However, they've lacked that explosiveness this season. For goodness sake, Tyreek Hill only had three catches on Monday night. Luckily for Miami, they face a lackluster Las Vegas Raiders team in Week 11. The Raiders have struggled to do anything well. They beat the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2 and it's been all downhill from there. With only two wins, the Raiders are more likely to wind up with the first overall pick than

Will Shedeur & Deion Sanders team-up on Raiders?

The Las Vegas Raiders are returning to the football field this week after their bye week and it's time to see if Antonio Pierce is the right head coach going forward. If the team can't win more than one more game this season, it's hard to see a future with Pierce at the helm. Colorado's Shedeur Sanders has been the name most commonly linked to Las Vegas.

'They can run run': Raiders DC discusses preparing for Dolphins speed on offense

This season, the Raiders have seen a lot of opposing teams run away with games. With their trip to Miami this week, they will be trying to stop the Dolphins players from literally running away from them.

“One, you’ve got to be able to find a way to match up with their speed,” said Raiders DC Patrick Graham. “Whether it’s staying on top, whether it’s to run with them, you’ve got to figure out a way. There’s true speed out there on the field at a number of positions.”

The main focus in terms of speed will be wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Both of whom are established burners who are electric with or without the ball in their hands.

For the Raiders, it will be hoping that they have enough speed on defense to match up with them.

“There’s several guys that we got on the defense that can run,” Graham continued. “Now, I’m not saying I want to line up and do a foot race with anybody from Miami. These guys can run run. When I say true speed I mean true speed out there on the field. And it’s not limited to [Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle].

“So, for us as a defensive staff, we’ve got to figure out the best way to deploy the defense and try to keep this speed under control a little bit. Take away the space, staying on top, things of that nature. Jakorian [Bennett] in terms of Jakorian and Jack [Jones]. All of our defensive backs. We got guys that can run too, so it’s going to be a fun game in terms of just being able to challenge ourselves. I think that’s the big thing for the players. It’s a good challenge.”

When Graham mentions that the Dolphins’ speed is not limited to Hill and Waddle, he is thinking primarily of running back De’Von Achane and Raheem Mostert. And you could throw QB Tua Tagovailoa in there as well.

In other words, the Dolphins have many different ways they can beat you.

Al Davis was all about speed on both sides of the ball. But the classic Raiders were also all about hard nosed football. For the Raiders, if they can’t match their speed, they must outplay them in physicality.

“One thing Flo (Brian Flores) used to always say ‘You can’t ever forget about the physicality of this game,” Graham continued. “I don’t care how fast it looks, how much they try to make it — whether it’s run and shoot, whether it’s whatever they want to call the different offenses — NFL football is a physical game, especially as you start to move into November and you’re starting to ramp up into after Thanksgiving. You can’t ever forget the physicality of the game.”

So, it will be important for the Raiders to remind the Dolphins this is a physical game. However they need to do that.

NFL rumors: Tom Brady not expected to be Raiders 'power player' yet

After being approved as a minority shareholder in the team, Tom Brady's involvement with the Las Vegas Raiders has been the subject of much speculation. While Brady has transitioned into broadcasting, there's curiosity about whether he might take on a more significant role within the Raiders' organization. Given the Raiders' recent history with leadership figures from the New England Patriots, such as Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler, there's a natural curiosity about Brady potentially importing the so-called “Patriot Way” to Las Vegas.
