The Las Vegas Raiders made significant changes in the offseason. John Spytek and Pete Carroll were brought in as general manager and head coach, respectively, and the duo has largely overhauled the coaching staff and roster.
While the offensive moves, particularly the addition of Geno Smith, Ashton Jeanty and Amari Cooper, have received much more attention, the Raiders have a defense that is almost entirely new. None of last season's Week 1 starters at linebacker or in the secondary are back with the franchise in 2025.
The new-look linebacker unit has looked promising during training camp and the preseason.
