Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Raiders fans and fans across the country. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/EFIUQ7\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Las Vegas Raiders are switching to a 3-4 defense in 2026, which puts them in need of a nose tackle. They have brought in three players to help out in that area, adding Benito Jones and drafting Brandon Cleveland, as well as Gary Smith II as an undrafted free agent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Since the departure of mainstay Jonathan Hankins, the Silver and Black have been missing that pure run stuffer in the middle. However, news broke out recently that Vita Vea has demanded a trade, with contract talks with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at a stalemate. He has a desire to join the Raiders, according to Ted Nguyen of the Athletic, and would be a great option for the football team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">In this week\u2019s SB Nation Reacts, we ask Raider Nation if they should trade for Vita Vea.
