"Whoever in my way, it’s bad for you." -Ashton Jeanty

“I’m gonna make this league pay” -Mike Washington Jr.

Between Ashton Jeanty’s mindset and Mike Washington Jr. out to prove every team that passed on him wrong, the #Raiders have one of the hungriest running back rooms in the league

Could this duo end up being the best RB duo in the league this year?

10 years ago, Kobe Bryant dropped 60 in his final game, and I was there. 🐍

We thought maybe 30… maybe 40… nobody saw 60 coming.

Still one of the most unreal nights I’ve ever covered.

[Albert Breer @AlbertBreer]

Maxx Crosby was in the @Raiders building at 6 am this morning to resume rehab, and the team brass reached out to him immediately after the trade died yesterday. General feeling—Crosby's a Raider, let's move forward.

Trade calls came. More will come. But that's where things are.

Raiders putting in work! Sign arguably the best center in the NFL, Tyler Linderbaum, while also adding to the defense with Taron Johnson and ink WR Jalen Nailor to a deal. Not too shabby!
