Raiders’ free-agent shakeup boosts run game, linebacking core

Las Vegas kicked off free agency by signing center Tyler Linderbaum and adding Georgia linebackers Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker, boosting the run game and linebacking corps. The team also reunited youth with several younger contributors, including DJ Glaze and Charles Grant, and kept Aidan O’Connell in the quarterback room. However, the Crosby trade that could have netted two first-round picks fell through, leaving questions at No. 1 receiver, nose tackle, and overall secondary depth as Spytek’s plan unfolds.

Dean chose the Raiders over the Eagles in a three-year deal

Linebacker Nakobe Dean signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders, ending his stint with the Philadelphia Eagles. Although he hoped to stay, the Eagles didn’t match, and Dallas reportedly offered a competitive alternative, with Dean ultimately choosing the Raiders. The move ends his NFC East chapter for now and leaves Philadelphia adjusting its linebacker group.

Raiders tap Georgia linebackers to fortify the middle

The Las Vegas Raiders are rebuilding their defense by signing former Georgia linebackers Nakobe Dean (three years, about $36 million with $20 million guaranteed) and Quay Walker (three years, about $40.5 million with $28 million guaranteed), reuniting college teammates as they move to a 3-4 scheme. Dean could serve as the defensive signal-caller and Walker as a leadership presence, while the team continues adding veterans to their cap-space–driven roster overhaul.

Dean switches sides as Raiders land Eagles LB on 3-year, $36M deal

Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean agreed to a 3-year, $36 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders, with Philadelphia unable to match the offer. Dean, who had a standout 2024 season but has a lengthy injury history (Lisfranc in 2023, patellar tendon in 2024, hamstring in 2025), is valued for leadership and blitzing, and the move opens the door for Jihaad Campbell to step in in Philadelphia. The deal is projected at about $12 million per year, likely yielding a fifth-round compensatory pick."

Dean picks Raiders over Cowboys, loyalty to Eagles endures

During the NFL legal tampering window, Nakobe Dean spurned a strong Cowboys push and signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, a decision reportedly influenced by gut feeling and lingering loyalty to the Eagles. The bid from Dallas was competitive but not enough, so Dean won the Raiders’ offer. The move means he won't face Philadelphia twice a season and preserves goodwill toward him in Philly.

Raiders launch blockbuster free-agent spree to reboot roster

On day one of the NFL’s legal tampering period, the Las Vegas Raiders opened with a league-high 111.91 million in cap space to revamp the roster, led by center Tyler Linderbaum’s three-year, 81 million deal—the richest for an interior offensive lineman. The spending continued with Quay Walker (three years, 40.5 million, 28 million guaranteed) and Nakobe Dean (terms undisclosed), plus Kwity Paye (three years, 48 million, 32 million guaranteed), Eric Stokes (three years, 30 million) and Malcom Koonce (one year, 11 million), along with an offensive upgrade via Jalen Nailor (three years, 35 million, 23 million guaranteed). Las Vegas also has more cap room and the No. 1 pick in next month’s draft, reportedly targeting Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, as it aims to return to the playoffs.

Cowboys Target Nakobe Dean as Defensive Upgrade in Free Agency

A report says the Dallas Cowboys plan to pursue Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean in the upcoming NFL free-agency window that opens March 11.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has signaled a big spend in free agency to bolster the defense.

Cowboys Hire Parker, Set Sights on Nakobe Dean from the Eagles

Dallas hired Christian Parker, a top defensive coordinator candidate from the Eagles, signaling a bold shift and hoping Parker’s Philadelphia ties can help lure Nakobe Dean to Dallas to upgrade a thin linebacking corps. Dean, 25, posted a 92.3 pass-rush grade (third among qualified LBs) with four sacks in 10 games in 2025 and would be a long-term cornerstone, though Philadelphia’s cap constraints and a potential 2025 first-round replacement in Jihaad Campbell complicate the pursuit.

The Eagles managed their snap counts strategically, with key players like Jordan Mailata playing the entire game, while others like Jalen Hurts and Lane Johnson rested during victory formations. Injuries affected the lineup, with Isaiah Rodgers stepping in for Darius Slay and Nolan Smith leading edge rushers due to injuries to Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham.
