The team’s defensive line proved to be a strength for the Las Vegas Raiders in the previous campaign. Maxx Crosby and Malcolm Koonce, two defensive ends, ended with a combined 22.5 sacks.
Although the defensive ends for the Raiders are youthful and skilled, some feel the team might improve even more. According to Nick Shook of NFL.com, Las Vegas ought to sign defensive end Danielle Hunter of the Minnesota Vikings.

Shook stated in a post on February 29 that the Raiders had been operating in the senior edge rusher market for the past few years, partnering Maxx Crosby with players like Yannick Ngakoue and Chandler Jones, “despite operating under different leadership regimes.” “In his first season as general manager of the Silver and Black, Tom Telesco might use a similar strategy, bringing in a seasoned threat in a manner reminiscent of how he brought Khalil Mack to Los Angeles. The Raiders can afford to pay close to $43 million on a player who has demonstrated that he can succeed in any scheme, and who has 16.5 sacks to prove his value in 2023.

Hunter was fifth in the NFL in sacks the previous season and has been one of the top pass rushers in the league for a number of years. Though it’s unlikely the Vikings will let him walk, he’ll undoubtedly be among the most well-known players available if he does become a free agent.
