Summary

Day 1 of OTA’s is officially in the books and the Raiders Squad Show is breaking down all the biggest storylines coming out of practice. Join Lincoln Kennedy, Q Myers, and Shantelle Chand as they discuss why OTA’s are so important for a brand new Raiders coaching staff and roster, what fans should actually pay attention to during offseason practices, and which players are already facing pressure heading into training camp. The crew also dives into the growing questions surrounding Taron Johnson — including his contract situation, health concerns, and whether the Raiders can truly count on him this season. Is he worth guaranteed money right now, or does he still need to prove he can stay healthy and productive on the field? The conversation also shifts to the Raiders quarterback room and the future of Aidan O’Connell. Could the Raiders realistically keep three quarterbacks on the active roster this season? Does AOC still have trade value around the league, or is he more valuable staying in Las Vegas as injury insurance? Plus, the show highlights the Raiders players who need to impress the most before the regular season begins, sleeper picks who could turn heads during training camp, and which names could thrive in the new Klint Kubiak's offensive system or Rob Leonard’s defense. Raider Nation questions and comments are featured throughout the episode as Linc & Q react to the latest buzz surrounding the Silver and Black.
