The Las Vegas Raiders entered free agency desperately needing help at the running back position after a disastrous year and finishing at the bottom in every major category. Las Vegas finished 31st in attempts, last in rushing yards, 28th in rushing touchdowns, and last in yards per attempt. The Raiders’ top three leading rushers were Alexander Mattison (free agent) with 420 yards and four touchdowns, Ameer Abdullah (free agent) with 311 yards and two touchdowns, and Zamir White with 183 yards and one touchdown.
Las Vegas Raiders add Pro Bowl offensive weapon for 2025
According to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, the Raiders signed running back Raheem Mostert to a one-year, $2.1 million contract. The Pro Bowler reunites with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, who was the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles during his rookie season in 2015 and head coach of the San Francisco 49ers in 2016.

The newcomer battled injuries in 2024
Raheem Mostert battled injuries in 2024, missing three games with a fractured sternum, which plagued him for most of the year, and one game with a hip injury.
