The Las Vegas Raiders enter 2025 with an impressive leadership lineup, featuring Super Bowl champion head coach Pete Carroll and recently appointed general manager John Spytek. The coaching staff also includes offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, who has been retained. However, the loss of safety coach Gerald Alexander to the Pittsburgh Steelers could impact the team's defensive strategy. Alexander's tenure in Las Vegas was notable for the career-best performances of safeties Tre'Von Moehrig and Isaiah Pola-Mao, both set to hit free agency.

The Raiders now face the challenge of maintaining defensive momentum without Alexander. Moehrig recorded 104 tackles and 10 passes defended last season, while Pola-Mao achieved new career highs in tackles. The organization must act quickly to secure their services or explore options in free agency to bolster its secondary ahead of the new season. Retaining these players will be crucial for the Raiders as they aim for a Top 10 defensive ranking in 2025.
