The Raiders get back to work with another round of OTAs.

Plus, we continue to talk about the 2026 NFL schedule for the silver and black.

That plus more on Monday's edition of the Locked on Raiders podcast from May 18th, 2026.

You are Locked on Raiders, your daily Las Vegas Raiders podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. Welcome to a Raider Nation to another edition of the Lockdown Raiders podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day.

Welcome to a Raider Nation to another edition of the Locked on Raiders podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your number one sports podcast network. Of course, we're very proud of that. We're also very proud of the fact that this show continues to grow each and every day, and that's because of your support and the great job that my man Ari does behind the scenes without him.

There is no YouTube page, so we shout him out. We appreciate him. He makes us look good and sound good. Each and every day, he's on Twitter at Ari Produces. You can hit me up as well at your boy Q254. And if you want to be a part of the show, we've got the Lockdown Raider podcast voicemail line for you. 707-654-4693. We'll continue to hear from you.

Calls, text, really good feedback.

A lot of it has to do with the schedule that dropped on Thursday of last week. So we'll do that as we close out the show, segment number three. Segment number two, we will continue to talk about the schedule. I had three big takeaways from the schedule release. I talked about that on Friday's show. I'll focus in on one of those takeaways, and that was no prime time games. We'll do that coming up. Segment number two of today's Lockdown Raiders podcast here in segment number one, news and notes of the day. We'll go ahead and jump right into it after I tell you about the title sponsor of the show, which is Fanduel. Right now, new customers can bet just $5 and get $150 in bonus bets. If your first bet wins, head to fandole.com to get started today. So just full transparency. I'm recording this show a little bit early on Sunday. The Raiders have the Silver and Black Gala coming up later on this evening that getting an opportunity to go to for the second year in a row really excited about it last year. It was crazy exciting. A lot of Raider

legends walking around the building. Stevie Wonder perform this year it's going to be Elton John.

But the thing is, you got to get all fancy. So if you're watching on YouTube and you see me

in my little Nike t-shirt, yeah, that's not going to go. So your boy actually had to rent a suit for the night. So yeah, I don't even have something in my closet that's acceptable to go to this thing. So for the second year in a row, got to go ahead and call someone and rent something. So looking forward to it. I'm excited about it. I know Big Link's going to be there. Lincoln Kennedy. Kirk Morrison told me he's going to be there, and I just guarantee there's going to be so many Raider legends at the event. It's really awesome. I'll raise a lot of money for charity. The Raiders do a really good job. It's being held at Allegiance Stadium. So just knowing that there's no way I'm going to be able to come home from that event and who who knows what time will get home and be in the right state of mind to be able to knock out a podcast or whatever.

And so I just kind of want to get this done a little bit early on Sunday.

And then, of course, tomorrow I'll be able to talk about, you know, the gala and everything that went on and how cool it was. Elton John's supposed to perform tonight. So really, really cool. But that's just, like I said, being full, fully transparent on when I'm recording this show. So if somehow, some way some little piece of news might break, maybe a signing or somebody gets waived or whatever, that's why I don't have it on the show. But the Raiders do get back to work. OTAs going on starting on Monday, the 18th, which this is the 18th show. So that's today. It gets started. It'll be the 20th and the 21st as well. So Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. And remember these all voluntary. We'll be out there

on Wednesday. That's what I look forward to is being back out there, have another opportunity when they had rookie minicamp. We had a chance to be out there for a day. Now we're going to be out there for this round of OTAs on Wednesday. And the cool thing is it's an early practice and we get to talk to coach Clint Kubiak afterwards. So that's something I look forward to. There's been a lot of

different, you know, episodes where I've been, thing is it's an early practice and we get to talk to coach clinkubiak afterwards so that's something

to look forward to there's been a lot of different you know episodes where i've been talking about

well we haven't had a chance to talk to coach so that'll be a question for him now we'll get that

opportunity following practice and there'll be some players made available as well so look forward

to that coming up on wednesday but the raiders are back in practice starting today. Now, with that being said, there's been a player that's been asked about and talked about quite a bit that hasn't been seen yet. And that's Terran Johnson. That's the slot corner that the Raiders made a trade with the Buffalo Bills right before he was going to get waived. Matter of fact, he basically had been released, and then before it actually, the transaction

went through, the Raiders decided to go ahead and get a pick swap with the Buffalo bills and bring him into the mix. And so a lot of people say, Q, I haven't seen him in any pictures. What's going on? Well, I asked Vinnie Bonsignor, who works for the California Post and Raider Nation Radio 920 and he had put a piece out talking about that Johnson is looking for some guaranteed money.

He doesn't have much guaranteed money.

He signed a three-year, $31 million extension in March of 2024 while still with the Buffalo
