The Las Vegas Raiders will have nearly a completely new look across the board when they return to the field in 2026. Mass changes along the coaching staff and roster have already begun, and the NFL Draft is approaching, bringing even more change to the desert.

Las Vegas have handed the keys to Klint Kubiak as their head coach. Raiders general manager John Spytek has been hard at work improving Las Vegas’ roster, with more improvement expected to be made shortly. Las Vegas had an impressive start to free agency and will now turn to the draft.
The Raiders entered the offseason with many holes on both sides of the ball. Fixing their roster was the top priority of the offseason. They have quickly eliminated several of the roster’s most pressing needs. Their effective start to free agency began to answer questions surrounding the depth chart.

Offense
The Raiders have already improved what was one of the league’s worst offenses in 2025. They still need to add depth at several positions, but Las Vegas’ offense is much better with the arrival of Tyler Lindenbaum, and the depth that Spencer Burford will bring.
Las Vegas’ depth chart on offense is all but set, with few questions other than at offensive guard, where Burford or Caleb Rogers will battle for a starting position.

Defense
Expect to see a lot of movement along the Raiders’ interior defensive line this season under defensive coordinator Rob Leonard, who is also the Raiders’ former defensive line coach. Leonard has spent several seasons working directly with what is Las Vegas’ deepest defensive group.
Las Vegas has several defensive linemen who can be used in various ways alongside one another. Look for Leonard to spend the offseason and even his first full season at the helm experimenting with different lineups along the defensive line.

Look for Leonard’s lineups and playcalling to be his specialty, especially as Las Vegas continues to add talent and depth to the defensive side of the ball. The Raiders’ front office invested heavily in its defense and will continue to do so. In the meantime, expect an improved unit.
