The Las Vegas Raiders revamped their defense in the 2025 offseason, as they let every starter from Week 1 of the previous season at both linebacker and in the secondary leave in free agency. The moves, largely, did not work out for the franchise, however, there were two bright spots.
Cornerback Eric Stokes and safety Jeremy Chinn both showed that they should be long-term fits on the defensive end. While the former will need to be re-signed this offseason, the latter has one year remaining on his deal, but the franchise would be wise to get ahead of his free agency and begin extension talks ahead of the 2026 season.
