The Las Vegas Raiders completely re-tooled their defense this offseason in the image of new general manager John Spytek and head coach Pete Carroll. This meant the departure of several solid players and fan favorites, including both starting linebackers, Robert Spillane and Divine Deablo.

To replace these two veterans, the Raiders' new leadership tandem quickly grabbed Elandon Roberts in free agency, and former All-Pro Devin White shortly after.
