0:00It's March 3rd for the NFL. Let's get into it. Follow and subscribe for more team news every day. Tom Telesco had a short stint as the Las Vegas Raiders General Manager, but one smart move stands out. He claimed defensive tackle, Joan Allalu off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts. Lollu, a seventh round pick in Las Vegas native, quickly became a key part of the Raiders defensive line rotation over the past two years. Lollu joined the team right after being cut, and has held down a solid role ever since. Telesco's decision lets even better in hindsight, especially after Lollu's strong performance last season. Fans and analysts appreciate how Lollu stepped up without much hype. His local roots add a nice hometown feel to the Raiders defense, and he's proven reliable in the trenches. In 2025, Lollu posted 51 tackles and four sacks while earning just over $1 million. That effort caught attention for its efficiency on a budget salary.
