The Las Vegas Raiders wagered a lot on their young talent this offseason when Pete Carroll and John Spytek came to town. Instead of paying veterans in free agency, they built the team through the draft and signed a handful of cheap or downtrodden players in the open market.
In the defensive backfield, especially, the team is completely revamped. There are now four new starters in the secondary in Las Vegas, as Isaiah Pola-Mao was re-signed to be a starter, Kyu Blu Kelly was given a chance to start at cornerback, and Jeremy Chinn and Eric Stokes joined in free agency.
