  • Raiders' Offensive Line Overhaul: Linderbaum Target

    01:47|
    The Las Vegas Raiders are embarking on another major rebuild, following the dismissal of head coach Pete Carroll after just one season. The teams struggles have left only defensive coordinator Patrick Graham from the original staff. General manager John Spytek and minority owner Tom Brady will jointly lead the search for a new coach, a departure from last time. The Raiders have a history of failed coaching hires, but Spyteks involvement may bring a new approach.

The Raiders have two promising players in guard Caleb Rogers and tackle Kolton Miller, but need at least three more starters. With $84 million in projected cap space, they could target free agents or draft picks. One potential target is Baltimore Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum, a highly-rated athlete who excels in the run game. Checkout Solipillow.com
