This offseason has had a lot of grumblings from unhappy quarterbacks around the league. None more newsworthy than the situation that continues to play out between Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. The reigning MVP is sitting out all offseason activities and he seems set of being traded. Some team is going to bite and land the 37-year-old QB in the hopes he can lead them to a … [Read more...] about QB Derek Carr on Raiders: 'I'd probably quit football if I had to play for somebody else'

Tuesday in Henderson, the much anticipated duo of Kenyan Drake and Josh Jacobs — aka Drake & Josh — took the field together for the first time as Raiders. Their entire football careers have been like two ships passing in the night. The two former Crimson Tide running backs never shared a backfield at Alabama.

Derek Carr is coming off the best season of his career. During the 2020 season, Carr threw 27 touchdowns to just nine interceptions and set a career-high of 4,103 passing yards.

With all of the … [Read more...] about Raiders QB Derek Carr named one of the biggest 'losers' of the offseason

Over the offseason, the Raiders made it a priority to get more veteran defensive backs in their secondary. Last season, they just didn’t have enough reliable pieces in the secondary and it ended up being the downfall of their season. So far, the Raiders have added a number of seasoned vets, including Rasual Douglas, Karl Joseph and Blidi Wreh-Wilson. But the biggest addition of … [Read more...] about Raiders CB Casey Hayward Jr. brings much-needed veteran presence

Welcome to mandatory minicamp week. OTAs are behind us, and therefore the voluntary portion of offseason practices is, as well. Tuesday, the offseason schedule will kick up a notch, and the entire 90-man offseason roster is expected to be in attendance.

The two were signed this offseason as free … [Read more...] about Two new Raiders set to hit practice field for first time this week

In a recent piece I put out, I set about ranking the Raiders players 1 thru 25. Topping that list was, of course, elite tight end Darren Waller. Who was next in line? Why, edge rusher Maxx Crosby, of course. For anyone who may have questioned that ranking, Von Miller would like a word. The future Hall of Famer attended a pass rushing summit in Las Vegas this weekend. A few … [Read more...] about Broncos EDGE Von Miller had some high praise for Raiders DE Maxx Crosby
