The Las Vegas Raiders have undergone substantial changes in leadership recently, aiming for stability after years of inconsistency. With Pete Carroll as the new head coach and John Spytek as general manager, the team made significant moves in the offseason. They traded for veteran quarterback Geno Smith, drafted dynamic running back Ashton Jeanty from Boise State, and aimed to bolster their offensive capabilities.

Smith's experience under Carroll could provide an immediate boost to the Raiders' passing game, which has struggled in recent seasons. The addition of Jeanty, along with promising talents like tight end Brock Bowers and receiver Jakobi Meyers, suggests an upgraded offensive strategy that could reverse last year's performance. Defensively, the Raiders hope for a resurgence from key players like Maxx Crosby, Christian Wilkins, and Malcolm Koonce to once again impose pressure on opposing quarterbacks. With realistic hopes of improving their four-win record, the Raiders are setting their sights on potential playoff aspirations.
