There is hope for improvement for the Las Vegas Raiders’ offense in the 2026 season and a big reason is the offensive line.

The Raider’s offensive line was dreadful last season. It was caused by a combination of poor play, injuries and bad coaching.

This year, the Raiders’ added free-agent prize, center Tyler Linderbaum and hired respect offensive line coach Rick Dennison to coach the unit. Those moves coupled with better health luck and improved play by young players could show big improvements by the group.

That’s the hope, at least.

Not everyone is sold, however. Respected NFL analyst Warren Sharp has released his predicted performance rankings for the season by all offensive lines. he has the Raiders’ ranked at No. 25.

Who knows if Sharp will be right, but if he is and the Raiders’ offensive line doesn’t show major improvements, it will be considered a big letdown.
