HISTORIC SIGNING CONFIRMED! TYREEK HILL HE'S NOW A RAIDERS PLAYER!

🏴‍☠️ THE RAIDERS ARE FINALLY MAKING MOVES — AND THIS ONE CHANGES EVERYTHING. Las Vegas has officially signed defensive tackle Bonito Jones, formerly of the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions, and this isn't just any roster addition. This is the Raiders directly answering the biggest question hanging over their 2026 defense: who fills the nose tackle role in Rob Leonard's 3-4 scheme? At 335 lbs, Jones is the classic "space eater" — the guy who eats blocks, clogs gaps, and frees up linebackers to make plays. And here's the key detail: Leonard already knows exactly what Jones can do, having worked with him directly on the Dolphins' defensive staff. This signing makes too much sense to ignore. But that's not all. Gary Smith III is turning heads internally after dropping 20 lbs and coming back faster and more explosive. Seventh-round rookie Brandon Cleveland arrives from NC State ready to contribute against the run from Day 1. The Raiders' defensive front is being rebuilt from the ground up — and it's happening fast. 💥 Then there's the Max Crosby situation — which refuses to go away. According to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, there's still a genuine possibility that contenders could come calling for Crosby before the 2026 trade deadline. If the Raiders stumble early in the season but Crosby is dominating? The offers will arrive — and they won't be small. With the 2027 draft class projected to be historically strong, future first-round picks are currency right now. The New England Patriots have been mentioned. The league is watching. 📈 And on offense, GM John Spytek is going all-in on second-year wide receiver Dante Thornton. Just 10 catches and 135 yards in his rookie year — but the front office sees something in his work ethic, attitude, and physical tools that the box score doesn't capture. With a more stable quarterback situation expected in 2026, Thornton's real test is here. The Raiders are rebuilding. The defense is being overhauled. The roster is shifting. And the most important questions for Raider Nation are right here: ➡️ Can Bonito Jones anchor Leonard's defense? ➡️ Will Dante Thornton break out in year two? ➡️ And if the Raiders start 1-8... does Max Crosby get traded? Drop your answers in the comments. If you're a true Raider fan, you know what to write. 🖤 👍 Like | 🔔 Subscribe | 💬 Comment "I AM A RAIDER" #RaiderNation #LasVegasRaiders #NFL2026 #BonitaJones #MaxCrosby #DanteThornton #NFLNews #Raiders #NFLDraft #DefensiveLine
