The Las Vegas Raiders entered the 2025 NFL season with the perception that their defense was going to be a major weakness. Fans and those who followed the team were particularly concerned about the cornerback room after the new regime wiped the unit clean this offseason.

There have been multiple weaknesses throughout the Raiders' defense, and a handful of changes certainly need to be made.
