The Las Vegas Raiders face a significant loss in free agency with the departure of safety Tre'von Moehrig, who is signing a lucrative three-year deal with the Carolina Panthers worth $51 million. Moehrig stood out among safety prospects, starting 64 games in his four seasons with the Raiders, amassing 297 tackles, 29 passes defended, and six interceptions. His breakout year came in 2024 when he recorded a career-high 104 tackles and 10 defended passes. His consistency and durability, having missed only two games in four years, contributed to his high ranking as a free agent.

As the Raiders attempt to rebuild their defense, losing Moehrig complicates their plans. Coach Pete Carroll emphasized the importance of retaining key defensive players like Moehrig. The Raiders also recently lost linebacker Robert Spillane to the New England Patriots, raising concerns about their defensive depth. The Raiders' backfield now faces fresh challenges as they look to fill the void left by Moehrig's departure, making their defensive strategy critical heading into the next season.
