Las Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham has become adept at turning underrated linebackers into Pro Bowl-level players. He did it with Denzel Perryman during his first few years with the team, and he did it again with Robert Spillane over the last two seasons.
It was no surprise, then, when general manager John Spytek took a gamble and let both Spillane and Divine Deablo, the team's starting linebackers since 2023, leave in free agency. To replace them, he brought in a slew of veterans like Devin White, Jamal Adams, Germaine Pratt and Elandon Roberts.
While these four are locks to make the roster, Las Vegas has a bit of a battle occurring at the end of the roster.
