The Las Vegas Raiders have improved their roster throughout free agency and the NFL draft. With the Maxx Crosby trade not going through as well, it leaves open the chance that the Raiders could see an improvement in their overall record.
Of course, with the seventh-toughest schedule in the league, the three AFC West teams will make it tougher. The new coaching staff led by Klint Kubiak will have to find ways to maximize their players to help the team reach a winning record in 2026. Many young coaches
have achieved these results recently, and Kubiak could be next on the list.
In this week’s SB Nation Reacts, we ask Raider Nation: will the team finish with a winning record? Raider Nation has realistic expectations for the 2026 season. Only 38% of Raiders fans believe they will have a winning record at the end of the year.
Kubiak will be attempting to make this turnaround and produce a winner. With his offensive prowess, it could be a team that surprises with the weapons he has at his disposal. If he can fix the offensive line and allow Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers to flourish, expectations could rise quickly.
