We haven't had players willingly wanna join the Raiders in a LONG TIME!!!

[@dre1700blk]

Facts!! that really means a lot

[@dre1700blk]

They dont see coming to the raiders as a punishment. They turning that stigma around

him and Maxx will be the leaders of the team. If we get a good young QB then we will have a trinity of players that could take us to a super bowl

[@givingmyalltolife686]

Christian was absolutely meant to be a Raider… everything from the suit he’s wearing, the Raider chant, the football mentality, etc. It’s all there and ready to go!☠️🏴‍☠️

Oh ya we got a good one ‼️‼️

[@denniswebster7075]

What a great leader! Excited for our defense

[@Matterian]

I have watched the Raiders since 1976. I have met a ton of Raiders. The only one I met that I regret meeting was Todd Christiansen he was an ASS***E of the first degree. I can see Christian is going to be one of those Raider Alumni that you can approach and talk too. Gardner has a Gannon the Cannon feel...never the opportunity to really be the starter...the guy. THIS IS GOING TO A A GREAT YEAR!!! I will miss Josh Jacobs though. Raiders you blew that one. You should have given him what he wanted.

[@vinniehugo9065]

They didn’t get rid of Jacobs. They didn’t want to pay him what he wanted. Both sides had to stand on business. No love lost on either side. Raiders got White and the Raiders feel he’s enough for the position and for good reason. Zamir was averaging 4 and 6 yards per carry the last 3 games. The Raiders would most likely add a Back from the draft as well. We good, and so is Jacobs. Just business.

[@delanodouglas6390]

Should have signed Jacobs.

[@Matterian]

@@delanodouglas6390 AGREED!! AGREED!! AGREED!!!! Maybe we get him back in 2 years

[@stevo999]

Shoutout to Eddie tho!! I see my boy improving on his interview skills great vid.

[@BillPlain1]

What a very well spoken young man. I loved the signing, because he is a freaking beast on the interior, which we desperately needed, and can move around being next to Crosby regularly, and can shore up the other side away from Crosby. I wish we could have kept Bilal Nichols, and then this team would have been the best D-Line in the NFL, but hopefully Tyree can get out of his freshman funk, and his sophamore season can be a very solid-great one. Additionally, I would understand if Koonce left the building, but it would make me sad, as we took him based on the Maxx find, so he has finally broken out, and is only on the rise. I hope he stays. It would be bizarre to have all that talent on the D-line.

[@Theturtle-nc7xj]

Excited for Wilkins and Crosby

[@georgevega4019]

AP knows what he's doing, getting Christian and Minshew, these two have swag, energy and love football

[@rorypicaut9742]

Can we get that man a “C” for his jersey ASAP! The PERFECT mindset for a CAPTAIN to have! Humble and HARDWORKING!! This D-Line is going to be “Death Row” for opposing offenses next season.

[@obrapro]

Great attitude so far. Be warned: some players get paid and don’t show up. So far so good but I think Crosby’s bar is high, he’ll ball out. Let’s go Raiders

[@davidmartin114]

Christian Wilkins is a pro through and through..hes going to be a Raider great if he stays long enough.

[@antonioingram3857]

As a long-time Dolphins fan going to miss him.

[@CjSmith-hg5ov]

Here we go, yall better strap up

[@jdg62269]

AP, if you watch this, trade up with Washington and snag JJ, give up '25 first round pick and '26 second round pick. He's going to be a legend. We GOT TO GET HIM!

[@MelGibson69142]

WA would laugh at that trade proposal, you are funny though

[@jesserodriguez1983]

Raaaaiiidddeeerrssss

[@boisejim]

I helped Eric Allen sign with the Raiders!!!!

[@adamolsen78]

Christian Wilkins is a G.. welcome to the nation 🖤🩶🖤🩶🏴‍☠️☠️

[@ShyMarketing]

If you listen to what CW said there are others who will be coming. When people like Tyrek who played the Raiders when his teams at KC are dominating say they are doing something different I can see a few team friendly deals. I thought Jacobs would stick around but 12M is too much. I hope they can get a corner and the Xavier Howard would be a nice get. With the QB can we get JJ Mc or do we want Penix who has the arm and the size to make all the throws. We have the bridge QB but if we had a wide open offense with Zeus and Rookie making an impact that would work. The key is how do we get a QB who can function year 1. Muford the new RT we just got to get a Guard off the waiver wire. Lots to be excited about.

[@luismontalban3186]

Im tired of getting hopes up, we had many of top players. We see come regular season

[@isaace.franco7027]

❤❤❤

[@dancollins5478]

Be interesting to see how he does without sellier next to him who is emerging. As a fins fan, I watched him his whole career. He obviously stepped up this year with the sacks which got him his new contract but he seemed to come up small in the big games. Not sour grapes, just facts.

[@jessemorrow9711]

Mahomes is Already scared thinking about Wilkins and Madd Maxx 🏴‍☠️☠️🏴‍☠️☠️🏴‍☠️☠️ add Koontz etc. Every QB better watch out

[@JuneBug79824]

First off, that's a dope a** suit!!! 👌🏽 Second, Imagine if they had originally drafted this guy instead clelin ferrell smh 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽 glad he's home now though 🙏🏽 let's gooooooooooo 🖤☠️🤍💀

[@Hustla_Jones]

1st round: Byron Murphy or Brandon Fisk DT, Nate Wiggins or Q. Mitchell CB 2nd round: Jer’Zhan Newton DT Illinois ((( HE IS A MONSTER PLEASE GO WATCH IF YOU CLUELESS MUST SEE))) 3rd round QB (Best available if none OLine) Rest of draft Linebacker and other depth Call me crazy but let's rebuild the Giants AP days type of team make life easy for linebackers and secondary with that pass rush and run defense. 🏴‍☠️🖤🏴‍☠️🖤🏴‍☠️💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈 That DLine would be crazy work!!!

[@MelGibson69142]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Hustla_Jones]

It’s like they read my mind with the DT and DLine I’d go Linebacker at Alabama Dallas Turner or corner Q. Mitchell, Nate Wiggins now at 13. 2nd QB if one you LIKE is there if not no reach go Oline highest on board. 3rd on depth fill best players available or trade away picks for higher depth fills get out of draft start evaluating early for undrafted free agents

[@UpNxtBeezus]

Yeaayuh

[@gilbertgarcia9604]

Why do they always say that we always get those kind of players those that are washed up that no other team wants.

[@calvinkelly494]

Tell him he needs a raiders patch stitched to his suit 😏

[@onemad.targaryen.rages.respect]

I get it build the defense and spend big. Love it. But CHI holds 1, 9 and fields. They only have 5 picks. Let's make a move with them.

[@lobosr7092]

It was the money bags just like tyreek left chiefs bro would of stayed in Miami if the money he wanted was there but he left for 27 million a year , and Miami was not matching , but hay love Christian he is a machine , relentless.
