Raiders Prioritize Pass Rush Upgrade, Eyeing Boye Mafe

0:00Here's more NFL news for March 6th. The Las Vegas Raiders are prioritizing a past rush upgrade this free agency period, no matter what happens with Star Max Crosby. One name-gaining attention is Boyet Maffe, the pending free agent from the Seattle Seahawks. With plenty of cap space, their general manager John Spytek has the funds to pursue him. Newhead coach Clint Kubiak, could lean toward familiar faces from Seattle. Their defensive coordinator Rob Leonard also wants more rushers to build out his scheme. That gives the Raiders real flexibility heading into the offseason. Maffe had a down year with just two sacks in 2025, but he still generated 44 pressures and an 11.3% pass. Rush win rate. Earlier in his career, during 2023 and 2024, he racked up 15 sacks. Right now the Raiders are thin up front. Malcolm Cones is hitting free agency and Crosby keeps popping up in trade rumors. They basically lack a reliable option under contract.

1:02Kubiak knows Maffe well from his Seahawks days, making him a smart, potentially affordable target. Spytek should make a move to bolster that defense. This episode is supported by our sponsor.
