Las Vegas Raiders have turned the page under new head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek, yet they continue to maintain stability on the coaching staff by retaining Patrick Graham as their defensive coordinator for a fourth season. Graham, who has previously served under coaches Josh McDaniels and Antonio Pierce, will guide the defense into the 2025 season, marking his seventh year in this role across various teams, including the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants.

Last season, the Raiders struggled defensively, ranking 25th in scoring defense and dealing with significant injuries, particularly to Maxx Crosby and Christian Wilkins. With top tackler Robert Spillane facing free agency, Graham's return may play a crucial role in retaining key defensive players.
