American Football Conference · AFC West
The Las Vegas Raiders were founded in 1960 in Oakland, California, and now play their home games at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, with headquarters in Henderson. Mark Davis owns the franchise, with minority owners including Tom Brady and Richard Seymour. John Spytek serves as general manager, while Klint Kubiak leads the team as head coach, joined by offensive coordinator Andrew Janocko and defensive coordinator Rob Leonard. The Raiders made the playoffs in 2016 with a 12–4 record and again in 2021 at 10–7, but the years since have been difficult. The team finished 4–13 in 2024 and 3–14 in 2025 before opening 2026 at 3–4. Known by many names over the decades, from "Silver and Black" to "Raider Nation" to "Sin City," the franchise remains one of football's most storied organizations.

“So at one we got a radio taken Fernando Mendoza”
“one one overall not a shock here in this month draft... Fantom Mendoza goes one... Every time somebody puts Fernando at number one to the Raiders”
“Top five picks. I have it going. Fernando Mendoza from Indiana to the Raiders”
“6. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS Selection: OT Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas”
“I think the Raiders go get Ashton Gent, the running back... Ashton Jenny playmaker at six.”
“Ashton Genti at six... Those three picks seem locked to the Raiders.”
“if I'm on the clock and I'm the one building the team, I actually would take Will Campbell here (Raiders at six)”
“it's not it's not a 100 confirmed that the Las Vegas fans are taking Fernando Mendoza, but it is the highly expected outcome, at one overall”
“if we're gonna start number one overall, this feels like cut and dry. We're putting this in Sharpie. It is Fernando Mendoza, quarterback from Indiana.”
“Round 6 (No. 185 overall): Tyren Montgomery, WR, John Carroll”
“Round 4 (No. 117 overall): Jeremiah Wright, IOL, Auburn”
“Round 4 (No. 134 overall): Davison Igbinosun, CB, Ohio State”
“Round 6 (No. 208 overall): Robert Spears-Jennings, SAF, Oklahoma”
“Round 2 (No. 36 overall): Denzel Boston, WR, Washington”
“Round 3 (No. 67 overall): A.J. Haulcy, SAF, LSU”
“Round 1 (No. 1 overall): Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana”

“I'm gonna say that they're gonna score 26 points... my big prediction for the game is that the Raiders are gonna get right around 26 points again.”
“I'm gonna go I'm gonna go Raiders. I think the offense continues to do what they're doing.”
“I'm going with Raiders too, and I just trust their front and they're doing some cool stuff on defense.”
“And then the second one, Hubs, you'll love this one. Raiders over the Saints.”
“One rising player is veteran Patrick Johnson, who I project will make the roster and who is playing well.”
“Janocko is thrilled to have him on the roster, as projections indicate the Raiders will keep all three QBs.”
“Olubi is a special teams standout, and for the first time all year, I now think he will make the 53-man roster, and the Silver and Black will carry five ILBs.”
“I have said that since they signed QB Kirk Cousins, barring a trade offer that makes it mandatory that they move him, the team is expected to carry three QBs on the 53-man roster.”
“Koonce will make the roster, but he deserves scrutiny when others like Johnson and Slone are flashing.”
“A great 52-yard field goal and solid kicking have all but solidified his role. I have reported since before the NFL Draft that he was in the driver’s seat for the kickers’ lone spot on the 53-man roster, and that remains accurate.”
“But don’t say that too loud; he still thinks he is on the bubble and said he has his focus on making the 53-man roster. Hey, Hezekiah, you have.”

“I think the Raiders are in play, usc Pete Carroll. If the money is right, I think the Raiders are in play.”
“But I could see that happening the Las Vegas Raiders if they get somebody, you know, if they if they don't feel like they can get the guy they want to draft, and see them them taking a shot at him.”
“I fully expect Kubiak to say we're “going with Cousins in Week 1 and Mendoza will learn.””
“And while the Raiders have not formally named Kirk Cousins their starter, all signs point to him leading the offense in Week 1 instead of Fernando Mendoza.”
