The Las Vegas Raiders are entering a pivotal phase of their offseason, fueled by an ambitious draft strategy and an infusion of young talent. Head coach Pete Carroll, in collaboration with general manager John Spytek, took a proactive approach in selecting Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty in the first round.
Carroll’s enthusiasm was evident, as he continued fielding calls from various players and analysts after securing Jeanty. The selection even prompted a conversation with former NFL star Marshawn Lynch, whom Jeanty has been compared to for his physical running style.

Jeanty’s collegiate career showcased his ability to be a dominant force in both the rushing and receiving game. Over three seasons at Boise State, he amassed 4,769 rushing yards and 50 touchdowns, adding six receiving scores on 80 receptions. His impressive production and versatility make him a potential game-changer for the Raiders offense, which is undergoing significant adjustments under offensive coordinator Chip Kelly.
Jeanty’s introduction to the team came on May 8 when he visited the Intermountain Health Performance Center, meeting with Carroll, Spytek, and Kelly, further cementing his role in the team’s long-term vision.

Key additions give the team hope
Beyond Jeanty’s selection, the Raiders made 10 additional draft picks and have now finalized contracts with eight rookie players. Defensive tackle JJ Pegues and quarterback Cam Miller are among those signed, though their salaries will not count toward the cap space for 2025 due to falling outside the top 51 earners on the roster.
Other notable additions include Tommy Mellott and Cody Linderberg, both of whom bring depth to key positions while remaining financially flexible for the organization. The Raiders’ front office has operated decisively, ensuring that the team is well-positioned heading into the upcoming rookie minicamp this weekend.
Co-owner Tom Brady has expressed satisfaction with the team’s approach, as the Raiders continue to shape their roster under Carroll’s leadership. The recent signings and Jeanty’s arrival mark a significant step toward creating a more dynamic and competitive squad for the 2025 season.
Excitement surrounding Jeanty has only intensified after Carroll’s comments on his similarities to Lynch. The former Seahawks coach noted Jeanty’s ability to bounce off defenders and maintain balance, characteristics that defined Lynch’s legendary career. Raiders fans are eager to see how Jeanty translates his collegiate success to the professional level and how Carroll plans to incorporate him into the offensive scheme alongside the new acquisitions.
With momentum building, the Raiders are sending a clear message: they intend to be competitive in the upcoming season. The silver and black have set the foundation for a strong campaign, and as rookie minicamp begins, all eyes will be on Jeanty and his fellow draft picks to see if they can live up to the high expectations surrounding them.

Arsenal and Mikel Arteta, what next? ‘We have to prove that we can do it’
After their elimination in the Champions League semi-finals by Paris Saint-Germain this week, it will now be five years without a trophy for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.In the summer of 2020, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, both Arsenal and Liverpool had the strange mischance to lift silverware in empty stadia: Liverpool were crowned Premier League champions in an Anfield devoid of fans, while Arsenal won the FA Cup final in a cavernous, echoing Wembley Stadium.AdvertisementBoth clubs resolved to get back to the podium to share such a moment with their supporters as soon as possible.While Liverpool have since won an FA Cup, two Carabao Cups and, this season, another Premier League, Arsenal are still awaiting their next opportunity to celebrate.They are on course to finish as Premier League runners-up for a third consecutive season, and also reached the semi-finals in two of […]
Connor Hellebuyck, Jets shut out Stars in Game 2 to even series: Takeaways
WINNIPEG — Connor Hellebuyck’s best game of the playoffs has equalized Round 2.

He’d given up 26 goals under heavy duress against the St. Louis Blues and he was pulled from three straight road games, creating a crisis of confidence, and was unable to keep Mikko Rantanen off the board in Game 1.AdvertisementHellebuyck responded with a vintage performance in Game 2.The Jets got Vilardi’s power-play goal three and a half minutes into the game and Ehlers’ fortunate bounce three and a half minutes after that.

Are Chelsea better when they have less possession?
Chelsea recorded their lowest share of possession in any Premier League match this season against Liverpool last weekend and produced one of their best performances of it.Despite having the ball just 35.3 per cent of the time against the newly-crowned Premier League champions at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea scored three times in a 3-1 victory. They also generated their fourth-best expected goals value (3.1 xG) of the league season — a number boosted by Moises Caicedo winning a golden chance for Cole Palmer to end his 18-game scoring drought from the penalty spot in the 96th minute.AdvertisementEnzo Maresca’s team were far more aggressive when they did get the ball, generating five fast breaks (defined by Opta as a fast counter-attack starting from a team’s own half with the opposition defence at least partly unsorted) and six direct attacks (classified as the […]
Thilo Kehrer: ‘Winning the Conference League with West Ham will stay with me forever’
Thilo Kehrer is personable yet candid as he reflects on the latter stages of his time at West Ham United, until a particular question proves too delicate for an immediate response.The 28-year-old defender has just finished eating breakfast at Monaco’s training ground. Kehrer initially joined the French side on loan from West Ham in January 2024, which was converted into a permanent deal four months later.AdvertisementThe Germany international is a bright spark as he speaks to The Athletic, but adopts a sombre countenance when asked what led to his exit from the London Stadium.“I was sad when I left West Ham and I didn’t want it to end this way,” says Kehrer. “I’m aware that things can change very quickly in a footballer’s career. I wanted to stay there longer.“I love West Ham. The fans and I had a special bond […]
