The Las Vegas Raiders have a newfound excitement around the organization, following the hiring of head coach Pete Carroll.
Last season, Las Vegas finished the year with a 4-13 record, resulting in the firing of head coach Antonio Pierce.
As the Raiders transition into the leadership of Carroll, they have made a few offseason decisions, likely to make an immediate impact on the team.
Veteran linebacker Elandon Roberts agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal with Las Vegas after a short stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
After the news broke, Raiders star Maxx Crosby took to social media to share his reaction.
“DAWG,” Crosby said.
Roberts spent two seasons with the Steelers. Last season, he posted one forced fumble, one sack, four QB hits, five tackles for loss and 46 tackles.
He has experience playing at the highest level, having earned two Super Bowl rings in his career, previously competing with the New England Patriots from 2016 to 2019.
Roberts also played for the Miami Dolphins from 2020 to 2022.
Crosby has been the leader of the Raiders’ defense for quite some time. After another Pro Bowl season in Las Vegas, Crosby recently signed a massive $106.5 million contract for three years with the Raiders.
