Antonio Brown‘s time with the Raiders didn’t go as planned, to put it mildly. Oakland traded a couple of picks to acquire him from the Steelers, and he never ended up playing a game in the silver and black. Brown got into a very public spat with Raiders GM Mike Mayock, reportedly threatening to punch him and calling him a “cracker.” Although head coach Jon Gruden has final say on personnel matters, Mayock still caught a lot of flak for his handling of the situation. Now in an...

Today is the final deadline for college football underclassmen to declare their intention to enter the 2020 NFL draft, and we now have much more clarity on who will be available for the Raiders to select in a few months.
For a complete list of the underclassmen who have declared, follow this link.
There’s been a consistent upward trend in the amount of underclassmen to declare over the past few years, but this year it seems that a fair amount of...

Many who follow the Raiders closely expect them to look into drafting a cornerback with one of their first round picks this season.
Guys like Kristian Fulton, CJ Henderson, and Trevon Diggs could all be in play at with either of those selections, but if the Raiders elect to wait on the cornerback position, they’ll be interested in bringing in one of the talented, yet flawed corners likely to slip into the third round.
Ohio State’s Damon Arnette is one...

Raiders fans say “no duh” when they read the title of this article, but allow me to explain. The Raiders and Packers are built similarly from a philosophical perspective. On offense, their new coach Matt LaFleur has transitioned the Packers to a ball control offense that eschews the modern run-pass ratio, opting for a much more conservative route with one run play to every 1.4 passing attempts.
We all know the Raiders have a ball control offense and Jon...

Cyril has had to correct me three times that the free agency is BEFORE the NFL draft. Once it finally stuck in my head, I realized that what once was a need for a team before free agency and the draft might not be a need come draft time. I thought it was worth examining what that could mean for the Raiders pick at 12.
And I will say I feel like this isn’t guess work, it’s more like I did research and I’m making educated guesses. Have to add that...

After posting one of the greatest statistical quarterback seasons in college football history, Joe Burrow rocketed up draft boards from likely Day 3 pick to surefire first overall selection.
With a strong arm, nearly pinpoint accuracy, elite pocket awareness, and the love and adoration of his teammates, Burrow seemingly has it all, and the Cincinnati Bengals would seem like fools if they don’t select him at No. 1.
That said, there’s certainly a chance...

We’ve already looked at one thing the Raiders should learn from San Francisco and Tennessee’s run to the postseason, but the takeaway from the Chiefs should be a little different.
After falling down 24-0 in the AFC Divisional round, the Chiefs stormed back, outscoring the Texans by an insane 51-7 mark the rest of the game. Had they not been shut out in the first quarter, who knows how many points Kansas City could’ve piled up.
Raiders fans quickly...

Now that Jon Gruden has spent his first two years overhauling the Raiders' roster with young talent, it's time for that talent to grow together.
Former Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli will replace Brentson Buckner as the Raiders' defensive line coach, a source told ESPN, confirming an NFL Network report.

Much has been said and written about the Titans runing game and how effective they have been on offense despite Ryan Tannehill not throwing the ball nearly as much as other QBs across the league. The Titans and Raiders share some similarities on offense — big offensive lines with bruising running backs who want to control the clock and punish defenses.
The biggest contrast between the Raiders and the Titans, however, is the yards per attempt that each of...
The Cowboys firing Jason Garrett also displaced longtime defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli, but the former Lions head coach landed a new job. The Raiders are hiring him as their defensive line coach, Jim Trotter of NFL.com reports (on Twitter). Marinelli will replace Brentson Buckner, who joined Jon Gruden‘s staff last year. While Buckner helped the Raiders improve on their anemic 2018 sack total (13) and assisted in Oakland’s run defense climbing from 30th in 2018 to eighth this...
It’s never a dull moment as a Raider fan, as the news cycle just keeps on spinning. In a shocking move the Raiders have announced that defensive line coach Brenston Buckner has been fired.
The move comes as a surprise because Buckner was credited with aiding the development of rookies Maxx Crosby and Clelin Ferrell, not to mention the overall play of the defensive line was much better in 2019. Drastic improvements were made in the sack total as well as run defense.
In 2019, the run...
The Raiders had one of the most improved defensive lines in football this season, which it is why it is so unexpected that their defensive line coach is now looking for a new job. Raiders head coach Jon Gruden is expected to hire Rod Marinelli as his new defensive line coach to replace Brentson Buckner, Jim Trotter of NFL Network reports. Marinelli served as the defensive coordinator and defensive line coach for the Dallas Cowboys for the past seven seasons, and he worked on Gruden’s staff...

The Raiders season has been over for two weeks now, but the NFL playoffs march on, and now only four teams remain in the hunt for the Lombardi trophy.
In an effort to look at what the Raiders can learn from the last teams standing, we’ll be discussing a few lessons that can be learned regarding how each franchise found themselves one game away from a Super Bowl appearance.
The San Francisco 49ers were the NFL’s most improved team this season, and one of...

First, the Texans and Chiefs square off at 3:05 ET, before the Seahawks and Packers take the field at 6:40 ET.
