The Las Vegas Raiders have done a nice job bolstering their roster this offseason, but bringing in players like Anthony Barr could change everything.

With many moves already made on both sides of the ball, the Raiders might still have some work to do to catch the Chiefs. Adding Anthony Barr could go a long way in doing so.

After making the playoffs in 2021, the Raiders have attacked the off-season to ensure they return again in 2022. Of course, they were able to trade for star wide receiver Davante Adams. Reuniting with college quarterback Derek Carr, he will help take the offense to the next level.

Along with Hunter Renfrow, Darren Waller, and Josh Jacobs, expect some fireworks in Las Vegas. However, what about the defense?

The biggest addition to the defense was undoubtedly Chandler Jones. One of the NFL’s premier pass rushers, combining him with Maxx Crosby gives the Raiders one of the league’s best duos. They were also active at cornerback where they added Anthony Averett and traded for Rock Ya-Sin.
