The Las Vegas Raiders seemingly couldn't decide whether they were all-in on winning during the 2025 NFL season or if they were building toward the future. On the one hand, they traded for Geno Smith, but on the other, they drafted a handful of major projects and low-risk, high-reward veterans.
This recipe has netted them with almost zero viable depth, which has been tested amid several key injuries and a handful of shaky veterans not playing their best football. Of course, it's hard to win like this, and the Raiders have lost four straight games after an opening weekend win.
