Aaron Taylor+FollowBrock Bowers Breaks the Mold in Year 1Is Brock Bowers already the new face of the tight end position? Raider Nation, we just witnessed history—Bowers didn’t just break rookie records, he topped ESPN’s positional rankings, outshining legends like Kelce and Kittle after just one season. With 112 catches and over 1,100 yards, he’s not just a bright spot for the Silver & Black—he’s changing the TE game. With Geno and Chip Kelly in the mix, could Year 2 be even bigger? #Sports #Football #RaiderNation20Share
Christopher Hughes+FollowBowers Tops Kelce? ESPN Makes HistoryBrock Bowers just did what even King James of tight ends, Travis Kelce, couldn’t—he’s the first rookie ever to be ranked No. 1 at his position in ESPN’s Top 10, based on votes from NFL insiders. That’s huge for Raider Nation, especially since Bowers had to break records (most rookie TE yards, most catches by a Raider) just to get noticed in the AFC West. Is this the start of a new rivalry at tight end? What do you think Bowers can do with a real QB next season? #Sports #Football #RaiderNation20Share
Amy Williams+FollowMJD Picks Chargers Rookie Over Jeanty?!Former Raider Maurice Jones-Drew just ranked Chargers rookie Omarion Hampton ahead of our new Silver and Black star, Ashton Jeanty. MJD says Hampton’s in a better spot with Harbaugh’s run-heavy offense, but is he sleeping on Jeanty’s fit with Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly? Raider Nation, are we really buying that Jeanty won’t be the workhorse? Feels like classic AFC West drama brewing already! #Sports #Football #RaiderNation00Share
Jay Williams+FollowWR Showdown: Tucker vs. Thornton Jr. Heating UpRaider Nation, get ready! The hottest battle in camp is shaping up between Tre Tucker and rookie Dont’e Thornton Jr. for a starting WR spot. Tucker’s got the experience and quick routes, but Thornton’s got that DK Metcalf build and blazing 4.30 speed. With Jakobi Meyers locked in as WR1, who do you think will step up and stretch the field for Chip Kelly’s offense? This could be the rivalry that defines our season! #Sports #Football #RaiderNation00Share
John Camacho+FollowThornton vs. Bech: Raiders’ WR2 ShowdownSilver & Black Nation, the WR2 battle at Raiders camp is heating up! With Jakobi Meyers locked in as the top target, it’s rookie speedster Dont’e Thornton Jr. (4.3 speed, 6’5” frame) vs. Jack Bech, the sure-handed route technician from TCU. Early buzz says Thornton’s making waves, but Bech’s reliability could win over Chip Kelly. Who do you want lining up next to Meyers in this new-look offense? #Sports #Football #RaiderNation72Share
Amy Williams+FollowIs Brock Bowers the NFL’s Biggest Bargain?Raider Nation, let’s talk about Brock Bowers—aka the Dawg in Silver & Black. After a monster rookie year (112 catches, 1,194 yards, Pro Bowl & All-Pro honors), Bowers is still only the 31st-highest-paid TE in the league! Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay just called him the most underpaid at his position. With Geno Smith now under center, could Bowers break even more records and force the Raiders to open the vault soon? #Sports #Football #RaiderNation10Share
Amy Williams+FollowIs Dylan Parham the Odd Man Out?Raider Nation, what do you think about Dylan Parham’s future in Vegas? The Ironman of our O-line has quietly held it down since 2022, but with Alex Cappa’s big contract and rookie Caleb Rogers in the mix, Parham could be on his way out after this season. No extension talks yet, which is wild for a guy ranked 24th among guards last year. Is this the end of an era, or will Parham play his way into a big deal? #Sports #Football #RaiderNation10Share
Chad Williams+FollowCould Coop Really Join the Broncos?Raider Nation, brace yourselves—there’s buzz that Amari “Coop” Cooper, our former No. 4 pick and two-time Pro Bowler, could land with the rival Broncos. CBS Sports suggests Denver needs a proven vet for Bo Nix, and Coop’s name is on their shortlist. Imagine seeing him in orange and blue, catching passes against us! Even if he’s not in his prime, Cooper’s still got game. Would this be the ultimate AFC West sting, or just another journeyman stop? #Sports #Football #RaiderNation30Share
Aaron Taylor+FollowRemembering the Moss Trade ShockwaveWho else remembers when the Silver and Black rolled the dice on Randy Moss? Sure, Moss didn’t break records in Oakland, but looking back, the Raiders got more out of that deal than the Vikings did with Napoleon Harris and those picks. Even Moss himself showed love for Raider Nation during his Hall of Fame speech. Do you think this trade still ranks among the NFL’s best player-for-player swaps? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Football #RaiderNation00Share
Michael Pitts+FollowShould the Raiders Deal Mayer to Miami?With the Fins pulling off a blockbuster for Minkah Fitzpatrick, their TE room is looking thin after shipping out Jonnu Smith. Word is, Miami’s got their eye on Michael Mayer, who’s been overshadowed by Brock “The Beast” Bowers in Vegas. Mayer’s rookie numbers weren’t what Raider Nation hoped for, but Coach Pete Carroll still sees upside. Would you flip Mayer for picks, or keep the two-headed TE threat? #RaiderNation #NFLTradeRumors #FinsUp #Sports #Football01Share
