ESPN outlook for the Raiders
Mike Clay’s 2026 projected win total: 5.1
Odds to win AFC West: +2000
Strength of schedule: Seventh-hardest schedule in NFL

Raiders reporter Ryan McFadden on QB outlook
“Kirk Cousins currently has the lead in the starting quarterback race between him, rookie Fernando Mendoza and fourth-year veteran Aidan O’Connell. On top of Cousins’ impressing in spring practices, his experience and knowledge of coach Klint Kubiak’s offense have given him the upper hand. But training camp will ultimately decide who starts for the Raiders against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. Another dilemma the Raiders will have to face is how many quarterbacks they want to carry on the 53-man roster. Will they have three quarterbacks on the depth chart? If not, what does that mean for O’Connell? He played well during OTAs and minicamp. If that production continues in August, he might be someone who could garner interest in the trade market.”

Raiders reporter Ryan McFadden on Biggest Offseason Move for next season
“The free agent addition of center Tyler Linderbaum will improve an offensive line that struggled mightily last season. He provides stability at the position, and he’s one of the best run blockers among centers in the league. The Raiders are expecting running back Ashton Jeanty to make a significant jump in production in Year 2. If that happens, Linderbaum would’ve had a hand in his success.”

Raiders reporter Ryan McFadden on Under the Radar Rookie
“Cornerback Hezekiah Masses. The fifth-round pick was one of four defensive backs taken by the Raiders in the draft. The overall depth at cornerback is fairly young, meaning Masses could play his way into having significant snaps early. During minicamp, he alternated first-team reps with second-year corner Darien Porter. And at times, Masses’ ball skills and man-to-man coverage ability were on display. Expect him to be in the mix for the starting outside cornerback role, along with Porter and fellow rookie Jermod McCoy.”

Raiders reporter Ryan McFadden on Biggest Starting Job Question Mark
Guard. Kubiak said there’s a lot of great competition at the position. It will be interesting to see how things shake out. Based on what was seen during the team’s offseason program, the safest bet is that Jackson Powers-Johnson will maintain his position as the starting right guard, while former San Francisco 49ers guard Spencer Burford starts on the left side. But anticipate second-year lineman Caleb Rogers to be in serious competition with Burford on the left side. Also, don’t rule out Trey Zuhn III, who has already shown that he can play all over the offensive line
