There are plenty of unknowns on the Las Vegas Raiders roster. However, no one has asked this question about the team heading into the season.

Having an experienced coach is important for developing a young Las Vegas secondary. This Raiders coach looks to turn them into a juggernaut.

The Raiders may have improved in the trenches, but they still face a harsh reality if they are to turn things around in 2026.

The Raiders have high hopes for their fourth-year pass-catcher as the 2026 season could silence critics once and for all.
