There are plenty of reasons for the Las Vegas Raiders to enter the 2025 season with some optimism.
The additions of new head coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith have elevated the floor of the Raiders, hopefully ensuring that the team does not suffer a consecutive four-win season. Meanwhile, fans are excited about the debut of first-round pick Ashton Jeanty, as well as how tight end Brock Bowers follows up a tremendous rookie year. Despite the difficulty of sharing a division with three playoff teams from last season, the Raiders can still make some noise.
