The Las Vegas Raiders were one of the busiest teams in the 2025 NFL offseason. The AFC West franchise brought in Pete Carroll as head coach before trading for Geno Smith to be their quarterback.

Just like the other 31 teams, the Raiders dropped a video announcing their schedule for the new season. They used the opportunity to take some big shots at their divisional rivals.

They took aim at the LA Chargers, whom they'll face in Week 2 and Week 13. The video showed a tour guide taking fans to watch the team's Super Bowl trophies. When a visitor asked how many teams from Los Angeles have won a Vince Lombardi trophy, the guide said that two out of three, taking a shot at the Chargers' lack of success.

When it was time to announce their matchups against the Kansas City Chiefs (Weeks 7 and 18), they showed actors portraying NFL referees wondering where their flags had gone before showing a magician using the flags as towels for a magic trick.

Raiders have renewed expectations ahead of 2025 NFL season

The Las Vegas Raiders were active during the NFL offseason, making a major overhaul on their roster and coaching staff. Pete Carroll replaced Antonio Pierce as head coach, which kick-started multiple changes within the franchise.

They traded for Geno Smith of the Seattle Seahawks, landing what they hope is their franchise quarterback. During the NFL draft, they selected Boise State Broncos running back Ashton Jeanty to lead their rushing game.

The Raiders already had a talented defense and the changes on offense should be enough to turn things around. Minority owner Tom Brady has been involved in their offseason processes, and the pressure is on his shoulders to help turn spark a turnaround after a poor 4-13 season.
