The Las Vegas Raiders' have worked hard this offseason to improve a dismal roster to turnaround a 3-14 team that earned the No. 1 overall draft pick in 02226 an that was very much the worst team in the NFL in 20225.

In addition to the new talent, the good news for new Las Vegas head coach Klint Kubiak is that there is nowhere to go but up for the franchise this coming season.

A recent X post by NFL analyst Warren Sharp offered a stark reminder how god awful the Raiders were last year. They played just 120 offensive snaps with the lead in 2025, the third worst total in the NFL. Here is the full list:

66 - New York Jets
126 - New Orleans Saints
140 - Las Vegas Raiders
156 - Tennessee Titans
178 - Carolina Panthers
214 - Washington Commanders
228 - Cleveland Browns

Kubiak isn't used to that. As the offensive coordinator of the eventual Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, Kubiak played with the lead for 516 snaps, the second-highest rate in the league.

That's exactly what Kubiak and his new staff will be aiming for.
