Get the latest news and rumors about the Oakland Raiders from Rant Sports.
With training camp just around the corner, second-year linebacker Miles Burris has a big hill to climb if he hopes to be a contributor for the Oakland Raiders in 2013. After undergoing knee surgery in January, Burris has spent the last five months sidelined by rehab, missing OTAs and mandatory minicamp in the process. Although [...]
At the end of the 2013 campaign, Darren McFadden will be a free agent. That’s why the Oakland Raiders would be wise to trade their starting running, who has been nothing more than a disappointment since the silver and black made him a first-round pick in 2008. Apart from his 2010 season, McFadden’s résumé as [...]
It’s no secret that the Oakland Raiders have one of the worst linebacking units heading into the 2013 NFL season. While they already added three veterans to the mix during free agency and one rookie via the 2013 NFL Draft, the Raiders could be interested in bringing another proven playmaker into the mix.

Sometimes a no-name can turn into a contributor at the NFL level. That’s what the Oakland Raiders are hoping will happen with Christo Bilukidi, a second-year defensive tackle out of Georgia State.

With that mind, why not look forward to 2014, a year that could make or break GM Reggie McKenzie’s future with the team? One option that the Raiders could pursue when 2014 free agency rolls around is veteran [...]
The Oakland Raiders re-signed former first-round pick Charles Woodson this offseason for a number of reasons. The 36-year-old veteran was reunited with the Raiders to provide the team’s group of young defensive backs with a mentor. The signing was also likely a PR move, meant to give silver and black fans a reason to be [...]
Last season, the Oakland Raiders watched as their starting tight end and fullback finished first and second on the team in receiving yards. This year, the plan is for a receiver to take the cake as the top target. That’s where Denarius Moore comes in. A third-year receiver and former fifth-round pick, Moore has spent [...]
When Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis fired PR director Zak Gilbert earlier this month, many reporters speculated it as a shot towards GM Reggie McKenzie.
