The Raiders have promoted Rob Leonard, their defensive line coach and run game coordinator, to defensive coordinator, finalizing the deal under new head coach Klint Kubiak. Leonard, who joined the Raiders in 2023, is noted for his strong relationship with star pass rusher Maxx Crosby, which may aid in retaining Crosby amid ongoing team changes. He previously coached with the Giants and reunited with Patrick Graham, the former Raiders coordinator now with the Steelers. Leonard officially replaces Graham in this pivotal role.
