The Las Vegas Raiders made significant strides in bolstering their defensive lineup this offseason, focusing on retaining key players in their defensive line. Malcolm Koonce and Adam Butler have both re-signed, crucial for maintaining their defensive strength. Koonce, recovering from an ACL injury, signed a one-year deal worth up to $11 million, while Butler secured a three-year contract at $16.5 million. Their presence will be vital as the team navigates the recovery of Christian Wilkins from a broken foot.

Despite injury concerns with Wilkins and Koonce, recent reports indicate that most players, aside from Wilkins, participated in mandatory minicamp. This is encouraging news for fans and fantasy football enthusiasts, as it ensures the Raiders' defense remains a formidable unit in the league.
