Las Vegas Raiders Report Podcast

We roll into Hour 2 of Friday's show talking with Yahoo! Sports NFL writer Eric Edholm who schools us all on the ins and outs of the NFL salary cap for 2021. Why did it go down? By how much? And...what does it mean for the Raiders next season and beyond. We continue the salary cap convo with Vinny Bonsignore who tells us the players "borrowed" millions this season to keep the salary cap at $180 million vs. $160 million which is what team owners preferred.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Raiders made their first free-agent signing on the defensive line today - sort of. We'll tell you who they signed. Also: host Scott Gulbransen, and co-host Evan Groat, welcome Nick Cothrel who runs through Silver and Black Today's first 2021 Raiders 7-round mock NFL draft. Will they go defense? Or will an offensive tackle be high on their list as they pursue high-profile free agents on defense? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 starts off with Scott and Evan talking about the Raiders offense. There's no question the biggest priority - and weakness - of the team is the defense. Yet there are question marks on offense too. How do you bolster the offensive line? How will you replace Nelson Agholor at WR if they can't resign him? Plus, Vinny joins us to talk about the delicate situation when it comes to the Raiders salary cap situation. They're going to have to say goodbye to good players and figure out a way to free up money to build that defense in 2021. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We kick off our Wednesday Raider Nation Radio show talking about the latest news from Raider Nation and the NFL.

The Ringer's Kaelen Jones joins us in Hour 2 to talk about the Las Vegas Raiders Marcus Mariota and how he could be the real wild card in the wacky NFL quarterback carousel this offseason. Jones says Mariota's value could be very high and depending on what happens with other veterans on the market, the Raiders could get a nice return on the rejuvenated Heisman Trophy winner. Plus: Vinny Bonsignore stops by and talks about the tragic passing of former Buccaneers and Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back after an off day and get right into the latest and greatest info on the Raiders and their possible offseason moves.

Scott Gulbransen is back live this Friday talking about the Houston Texans release of JJ Watt today and why he says absolutely the Raiders should try to sign the defensive tackle. The Raiders are in need of veteran leadership on defense and Watt, if they can afford him, would be a great fit Scott says. Plus, Chris Trapasso of CBSSports.com stops by with his 2020 NFL redraft including two new selections for the Raiders. In fact, he didn't have Henry Ruggs or Damon Arnette going in the first round of his redraft. A must hear.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CBS Sports NFL writer Jason LaConfora wrote today he believes the only landing spot that makes sense if the Seahawks were to trade Russell Wilson would be the Las Vegas Raiders. While the chances of that happening are almost impossible, LaConfora's reason why is a big compliment to the Raiders organization. Vinny Bonsignore joins us to talk about today's report the Raiders are interested in Steelers free agent WR JuJu Smith-Schuster. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
