Expectations are high for the Las Vegas Raiders' defense this offseason. In order for them to be successful, they simply need everyone to do their job well, just like last season.
After a productive first half of last season and an even more productive second half of last season, the Las Vegas Raiders’ defense enters this season with high expectations. The unit was one of the best defenses in the National Football League over the last nine games of the season after Josh McDaniels was fired.
Wilkins has been one of the best interior defensive linemen in the league over the last few seasons and was undoubtedly one of the top free agents available, regardless of position. The Raiders added Wilkins to a defensive line that included veteran defensive linemen Maxx Crosby, John Jenkins, and Malcolm Koonce. The defensive line also has Tyree Wilson, Adam Butler, and Janarius Robinson as solid depth pieces behind their formidable starting defensive line.
