The Las Vegas Raiders face a significant defensive overhaul as Nate Hobbs, their standout cornerback, joins the Green Bay Packers on a four-year deal worth up to $51 million. Following the departures of linebacker Robert Spillane to the New England Patriots and safety Tre'von Moehrig to the Carolina Panthers, this marks the third key loss for the Raiders' defense this offseason.

Hobbs, a fifth-round pick in 2021, accumulated impressive stats during his time with the Raiders, including 281 tackles, 19 passes defended, and three interceptions over 51 games. Despite some injury setbacks, his cover skills and leadership in a young secondary made him a valuable asset. The Raiders now face a dilemma: whether to invest in a potential replacement via the draft or seek alternatives in free agency, considering the void left by Hobbs' exit.
