The Las Vegas Raiders made big moves in free agency to rebuild their linebacker group.

They signed the Kobe Dean to a 3-year deal worth $36 million and Kueh Walker to a 3-year

contract for $40.5 million.

Walker adds great range and speed to the defense while Dean brings a mix of skills that should

shake things up.

Both players feel key gaps in the linebacker room under defensive coordinator Rob Leonard.

Fans and coaches love Dean during his time with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he stood

out as a leader on and off the field.

That leadership could help new head coach Clint Kubiak build a tighter team culture.

Dean's strength lies in his physical style and past rushing.

He wrecked of 9-sacks over 4 seasons and earned a top past rush grade of 92.3 from pro football

focus last year.

The Raiders plan to use Dean mainly to attack the line and create chaos, avoiding heavy

coverage duties where his shorter arms can be a issue.

These signings set up an exciting defense for the upcoming season.
