Raheem Mostert Joins Raiders for 2025 Season

Raheem Mostert, a seasoned NFL running back, has signed a one-year, $2.1 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders after being released by the Miami Dolphins. Mostert, who turns 33 in April, previously shined in 2023 with a Pro Bowl season, recording 1,012 rushing yards and leading the NFL with 18 rushing touchdowns. However, his role diminished in 2024 as the Dolphins focused on younger talent like De'Von Achane, and Mostert managed only 278 rushing yards due to injuries. The Raiders' new offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly, reunites with Mostert, having worked together during Mostert's early career with the 49ers. As part of a revamped Raiders team featuring new quarterback Geno Smith, Mostert is expected to compete for a starting role in a backfield with uncertain depth. His extensive experience and past success could make him a key offensive asset for the Raiders in the 2025 season.
