The Raiders are doubling down on defensive chemistry by bringing together two key pillars of Georgia’s historic championship defense. The team has reached agreements with linebackers Quay Walker and Nakobe Dean, reuniting the former Bulldogs in the middle of the defense. Walker and Dean join an established Georgia contingent in Las Vegas that already includes Brock Bowers and Eric Stokes, who recently signed a three-year extension. The Raiders committed significant capital to secure the duo, with Quay Walker signing a three-year, $40.5 million deal and Nakobe Dean agreeing to a three-year, $36 million contract. Together, they are expected to provide the speed and sideline-to-sideline range required for the 2026 defensive scheme.
