The Las Vegas Raiders' offseason moves have sparked a mix of praise and skepticism among fans, particularly regarding their linebacker situation after letting veterans Robert Spillane and Divine Deablo walk. New head coach Pete Carroll and GM John Spytek are under scrutiny, yet defensive coordinator Patrick Graham remains optimistic about developing talent within the linebacker unit. Elandon Roberts, signed to a one-year deal, is anticipated to take the starting middle linebacker role in 2025, bringing with him a wealth of experience from his time with the New England Patriots.

During his recent appearance on "The Rush With Maxx Crosby," Roberts expressed confidence in his former coach Bill Belichick's ability to transition into college football, showcasing a more personable side compared to his days with the Patriots. With 604 tackles and significant playmaking stats from his NFL career, Roberts is poised to make an impact on a Raiders' defense that aims to rebuild and improve.
