Raiders News
Las Vegas Raiders news from training camp through the NFL season, including videos, podcasts, and coverage of Allegiant Stadium. From the Vegas Nation team.
One of the keys for the Raiders this offseason will be mastering new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy’s scheme. So far, so good, according to tight end Michael Mayer.
The Raiders are moving their training camp from Henderson to California this summer. It’s not the only time they’ve switched locations in their history.
The Raiders’ win total opened at 6½ at several Las Vegas sportsbooks. But there’s reason to believe that the team could exceed expectations.
The Raiders’ scheduled 2020 relocation from Oakland to Las Vegas presents an intriguing dynamic in contract negotiations for Khalil Mack. California enforces a 13.3 percent rate on state income taxes. Nevada has no such taxes.
Gareon Conley has missed three straight practices, and more are to come.
Jon Gruden loves veteran players and the Raiders, as much as any team, offer them second chances at continuing careers and proving others wrong, both of which the former Green Bay star can pursue.
The Raiders’ seventh-round pick could make the 53-man roster, particularly if he continues making plays like the one Monday.
New defensive coordinator Paul Guenther and his 4-3 scheme hoping to improve all that ailed the Raiders last season.
The news on Gareon Conley arrived shortly after Sunday’s practice. And with it, relief.
Well, it’s official. Arden Key is just as impressive in pads.
If anger among Raiders fans about the relocation to Southern Nevada was a central theme at last year’s training camp, such a sentiment has now seemed to move toward more of an acceptance.
The pads finally are coming on at training camp. The Raiders will wear them Sunday for the first time since a Dec. 31 season-finale loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Raiders fans saw a show Saturday. They hoped for Gareon Conley, too. The cornerback and 2017 first-round pick was not seen at Memorial Stadium. His surprise absence was a bit curious, but it’s too early to attach concern.
