The Las Vegas Raiders' defense has improved significantly in just the first week of free agency. Kwity Paye was a major reason why.

The Las Vegas Raiders have more than enough draft picks to make progress on their roster this offseason. They must choose wisely.

The Las Vegas Raiders have already implemented a few of the defensive changes they have in mind. Expect more changes to come under defensive coordinator Rob Leonard.

Sure, those two first-round picks would have been nice, but having Maxx Crosby on the roster has its perks.

The Las Vegas Raiders' offseason have earned general manager John Spytek the benefit of the doubt moving forward.

The Las Vegas Raiders have already added to several positions of need. There are still veterans available on the free agent market who could help improve Las Vegas' roster.

The Las Vegas Raiders have made several notable moves this offseason that give a clear indication of their hopes and expectations for the future.

Quarterback Fernando Mendoza is all but a lock to land with the Las Vegas Raiders. They will need to come away from the draft with more than just their signal-caller of the future.

The Las Vegas Raiders will look like a much different team when they take the field in 2026.

The Las Vegas Raiders have made more and bigger moves than nearly any team in the National Football League.
