The Las Vegas Raiders are no longer rebuilding; that much is clear with Pete Carroll in charge. The Raiders want to be competitive this year, and that’s why they’ve made moves like acquiring Geno Smith and Ashton Jeanty.
They believe they will be a playoff team this year and are acting accordingly. They have a clear vision of what they want to be this season, and Carroll should be able to raise the floor of this roster. That means fans should be prepared for the Raiders to continue to make aggressive moves in 2025.
With several superstar pass rushers available, don’t rule out the possibility of the Raiders acquiring another big-name player ahead of Week 1.
