I’d like to see us bring in either Wyatt Teller or Joe Bitonio to battle it out against Caleb Rogers for the starting OG position opposite JPJ.
Let Glaze and Grant battle for starting RT. This ensures our “best 5” as Spytek said, are starting day 1. 💪🏼

@AdamSchefter @ryanmcfadden_ BS. This screams of buyer’s remorse.

#Raiders 2026 starting oline.
We fortify the most valuable real estate in football and let Mendoza and Kubiak cook.
LFG 🔥 #Raiders #RaiderNation

Stoked about this signing but let’s not lose sight of the fact he ranked 22nd among starting centers in his pass pro grades.
Putting him in the Kubiak system and lining up next to JPJ will def help that. Vega at pick #14 would give us a legendary IOL. #Raiders #RaiderNation

ESPN Sources: former Ravens free-agent center Tyler Linderbaum reached agreement today on a record deal with the Raiders, who are awarding him with a three-year, $81 million deal that includes $60 million guaranteed and makes him the highest paid interior offensive lineman in NFL history.

@FB_FilmAnalysis Going to be fun to look back on this lazy and frankly Alex Cappa level take. Taron allows scheme flexibility for us in nickel packages. He’ll be used as a hybrid lb/slot corner.
English
Basically a one year $8.6m deal. It’s a lot for a nickel, who is clearly declining. This feels like another Alex Cappa type of move.

Trade: The #Raiders are trading for #Bills veteran CB Taron Johnson, sources say. It's a 6/7 pick swap. Johnson was announced as a release, but not officially on the wire yet. Las Vegas pounces.

@Sanjit__T The league is beginning to shift to an 11 good players will always overpower and outperform a couple star players approach.
English
So many good players are just being released. Crazy.

BREAKING: The #Packers will be releasing Pro Bowl DE Rashan Gary. The 28-year old had 46.5 sacks during his time in Green Bay.

Been very happy with all of Kubiak’s hires and decisions in general up to this point. Tendering Will Putnam is the first disappointment. No, he doesn’t get the “bad coaching Brennan Carroll” pass. #Raiders #RaiderNation

Kubiak’s football philosophy:
11>1
11 good football players working in unison is a force that will always overpower 1-2 great football players. Always.

Additionally, at 29 years old w/ a bum knee he’s on the other side of his career trajectory, has never once in his career led the league in sacks and/or pressures. Take the picks, get better at 5 positions. Kill the distraction and get back to work. #Raiders #RaiderNation

Every day that passes with Maxx Crosby still on the roster is a day we are operating at less than 100% as an organization. Logically the move makes overwhelming sense. His skillset peaks as a 4-3 base DE and takes a hit as a 3-4 OLB/DE. It is what it is. #Raiders #RaiderNation

@Sanjit__T Some folks need a better grasp on the English language. @Sanjit__T said “consider” not over pay etc etc. Go lookup the definition of “consider” if need be. As you were.
English
The #Raiders should consider bringing him in, a 1-2 punch of Kenneth Walker and Ashton Jeanty would be deadly.

Sources: the Seattle Seahawks are not expected to tag Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, who now is poised to become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year opens.

@MaxCrypto If you think we’re going to reach a negotiation state w Iran by Monday you’re out of your mind.
English
The attack on Iran will be vicious over the next 36 hours, and Iran will also respond in a big way.
And this is not insider information.
The reason behind this claim is that the US market will be closed for the next 36 hours, so it will not suffer.
Once Monday open happens, both countries will probably reach a negotiation state.
This will pump the stock market on Monday, and Trump will call himself a great President for a new stock ATH.
English
@Steph_iscrypto Looks like there’s still a bit more room to the downside before pump. $1.10 perhaps. Iran attack this weekend will tank markets for the next 25 days. Then we retrace up from $1.10.
English
$XRP, $HBAR, $ALGO, $XLM all about to pump extremely hard!!
English
No surprises here. One of the worst coaching staffs we’ve had in years. That changes this year. #Raiders #RaiderNation

With the #Raiders transitioning to a 3-4 base, the first two guys that came to mind are Malcolm Koonce and Tyree Wilson Koonce is a FA but he's more of a fit in a 3-4 OLB so I wonder if this means they try to bring him back in that role For Tyree...he's shown versatility along the DL as a depth piece...think he translates well as a DE in a 3-4

You all sure you want Linderbaum at center? This is not a one-off rep either. There’s PLENTY more of this in his 2025 tape. #Raiders #RaiderNation

The tape shows the same thing with Tyler Linderbaum. He's an elite run blocker but he's not as good in pass pro. He gets pushed around.
