Las Vegas Raiders WR Jalen Nailor just described Klint Kubiak’s offense in a way that will make fans have fun in 2026 whether they win or lose
The Las Vegas Raiders have a new offensive scheme under Klint Kubiak that should make the team fun to watch on offense.
The Las Vegas Raiders are a much different-looking team in 2026 than they were last season. Last year they won just three games, and in 2026 they should be able to double that total. This new offensive scheme under Klint Kubiak should have the offense much better, too.
This offense should be fun to watch regardless of whether they are winning or losing. They are going to compete in every single game. At least, that’s the feeling we are getting during training camp and throughout the offseason. From the sound of things, the Raiders have the right guy for the job in Kubiak.
“Whether we are up 30 or down 30, he always wants to be in attack mode,” wide receiver Jalen Nailor said when asked about Klint Kubiak’s offense.
Jalen Nailor can bring an explosiveness to this offense that they haven’t had in some time
The three-year, $35 million deal makes Nailor the 34th highest-paid WR in the league based on APY. So, the Raiders clearly believe that Nailor can be a low-end WR1 or high-end WR2. Most importantly, he’s bringing something with him that not many other receivers in his position can—learning from the best receiver in the league, every day for the last four years in Justin Jefferson.
On 49 targets in 2025, Nailor had just one drop, something that neither he nor Jefferson is known for. When you see the kind of consistency every day from Jefferson, it eventually rubs off on you, and Nailor had a heck of a season, one that was underrated in a way where not many know just how good he was. The yards and touchdowns don’t tell the whole story, even though Nailor did, in fact, lead the Vikings in touchdowns.
The Raiders will need a WR1-type season out of Nailor. And, they likely believe that he can provide that for them. It’s going to be fun to watch him and this offense, hopefully, consistently compete.
