As speculation continues to swirl about a flirtation with Tom Brady, Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden is publicly sticking with Derek Carr. "Consistent on what I have said...
Raiders coach Jon Gruden gave quarterback Derek Carr a vote of confidence amid reports linking the team to potential free agent Tom Brady, calling Carr "a heck of a player" and saying he's "anxious to continue to build around him."
Nobody in the NFL right now knows where Tom Brady will end up in free agency, but the betting world favors the Las Vegas Raiders. Barrett Sallee of CBS Sports shared the latest odds from SportsBetting.ag, and the Raiders are slightly favored over the Indianapolis Colts, who have a slight edge over the Los Angeles Chargers. The Tennessee Titans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers lead a packed field of dark horses that amusingly includes the likes of the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers. The...
Rumors have been swirling for about two years now that quarterback Derek Carr may not be with the Raiders much longer, but head coach Jon Gruden continues to insist he has no plans to part ways with Carr. When asked about Carr at the NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday, Gruden said he can’t address every rumor about his quarterback but is looking forward to building around Carr going forward. “I really think Derek is a heck of a player and I got a lot of respect for what he has done with...
The Las Vegas Raiders might be saying everything publicly to back Pro Bowl quarterback Derek Carr. However, it seems that this is just posturing to up his trade value. Reports over the past several weeks have concluded that Las Vegas will move the embattled signal-caller at some point soon. Reporting from the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Benjamin Allbright of Pro Football Network suggests that the Raiders are “heavily shopping” Mr. Carr. Despite the Raiders’ public stance,...
The Las Vegas Raiders’ quarterback situation has been a major topic of discussion with NFL free agency starting in a few weeks. Despite public support for QB Derek Carr, the Raiders could consider trading him this offseason. They have also been linked to big-name impending free agents in Tom Brady and Philip Rivers. Either way we spin it, the Raiders are likely going to draft a quarterback early come April. According to Vic Tafur of The Athletic, it won’t be in a trade-up scenario for...

This week the underwear Olympics, also known as the NFL scouting combine, gets underway in Indianapolis. The combine is a great opportunity for prospects to make a case for themselves to rise up draft boards.
There will be plenty of fluctuation between now and April’s draft as teams begin to stack their draft boards. Things that will also change as a result of combine performances are mock drafts. A solid performance can solidify your spot in round one and...
The rumors about Brady possibly becoming a Raider has brought catharsis among Silver and Black fans, but is it actually a good idea?
The Raiders aren’t necessarily committed to Derek Carr. Raiders general manager Mike Mayock told reporters that they’d consider moving on from their quarterback if there’s a “chance to upgrade.” “Derek played at a high level last season,” Mayock said (via ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Twitter). “I’m very happy with Derek. But as I’ve said before, we will evaluate every position on our roster and if there’s a chance to upgrade, we will look into that.” We heard earlier...
Raiders GM Mike Mayock gave a tepid vote of confidence to Derek Carr, saying the quarterback "played at a high level" in 2019 and that "we did a lot of really good things on offense."
For the first time in a very long time changes are coming to the NFL scouting combine. The NFL has decided to give the combine a complete makeover, with changes to the time of the event, the on-field workouts, and even the prospect interview process.
Here is a detailed look at each change:
On-field workouts in primetimeOf all the changes, the one you’ve most likely heard about already is the time of the event. Hoping to reach a larger audience, the NFL has decided to move the on-field...
Las Vegas Raiders general manager Mike Mayock said Tuesday at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine he's "very happy" with quarterback Derek Carr , but he stopped short of committing to him as the team's starter for the 2020 season...

As Antonio Brown tries to earn his way back into the NFL, the star receiver seemingly hinted on Monday night that he might be open to rejoining the Raiders. Brown, who said he is going to Indianapolis to meet with teams at the NFL Scouting Combine, tweeted a picture of himself in a Raiders hat and he seems open to the idea of a reunion. Of course, joining the Las Vegas Raiders might be a little awkward given his pending grievance against the organization. Brown started running into trouble...
Vontaze Burfict's agent told NFL Network that his client is watching tape and talking with coaches and NFL experts to do "everything he can to conform his passionate play to the rules of the NFL."
Last month, the NFL “quietly” reinstated Vontaze Burfict from suspension, as Tom Pelissero of NFL.com (on Twitter) reports. Burfict was barred from playing in the last 12 games of the 2019 season, but he’s been given the greenlight to play in 2020. Burfict has racked up an inordinate number of suspensions and fines throughout his career for safety violations. His most recent — a Week 4 leveling of Colts tight end Jack Doyle — brought down the hammer. Burfict’s reputation...

The Raiders had quite the haul in last year's draft, but the work is far from done, as pass-catchers, pass defenders and linebackers are in demand.
