Raiders defense has make-or-break opportunity right at their fingertips

The Las Vegas Raiders still have several questions to answer about their roster before the 2025 NFL season begins. Pete Carroll and John Spytek brought plenty of change to the Raiders this offseason, and the waters have not fully calmed yet in Las Vegas.

In particular, the defensive talent and depth have been called into question, specifically, the back half of the unit. This is because not a single linebacker, safety or cornerback who started in Week 1 for the Silver and Black last season is still on the team.

If the Raiders cannot stop other teams from picking up chunk plays through the air, then there is not much a strong defensive line or a high-powered offense can do.
