Summary

On this episode of the Raiders Squad Show, Lincoln Kennedy, Q Myers, and Shantelle Chand break down the latest developments surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders. We dive into the shocking news of Mike Tomlin and the Steelers parting ways and debate whether the Raiders should pursue Tomlin as their next head coach — is he the right fit for the Silver and Black? The crew also discusses Fernando Mendoza’s draft stock after Dante Moore’s return to Oregon and whether the Raiders can still justify passing on Mendoza with the #1 overall pick. Plus, we debate if the Raiders should trade for AJ Brown, and identify the three biggest skill position needs the Raiders must address this offseason. As always, we wrap up the show with questions and comments from Raider Nation. Tap in for expert analysis, strong opinions, and real football talk you won’t want to miss.
