Raiders Face Roster Overhaul, Secondary Challenges Entering 2025 Camp

News summary

After a disappointing 2024 season with only four wins, the Las Vegas Raiders have made significant changes under new head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek in hopes of improving their 2025 campaign. Key offseason moves include acquiring quarterback Geno Smith, drafting running back Ashton Jeanty, and overhauling the linebacker corps by replacing Robert Spillane and Divine Deablo with veterans Elandon Roberts and Devin White. Despite these upgrades, analysts like Moe Moton express skepticism about the Raiders' ability to compete in the tough AFC West, largely due to an unproven secondary lacking a reliable starting cornerback and safety depth concerns. The Raiders' roster rebuild also emphasizes character and motivation, with the front office prioritizing players who have a strong desire to prove themselves, such as Eric Stokes and Devin White. However, challenges remain in solidifying offensive line starters and developing rookie receivers, which could impact the team's consistency and overall success. While the Raiders have addressed many areas, the combination of a tough division and lingering defensive uncertainties suggests they may still struggle to rise above a last-place finish despite potential improvements.
