See the full story · 1 sourcesEvery year the Raiders release new updated measurables (height/weight) on the teams roster website, while these measurables aren’t made fully known they are updated, you can cross compare to other sites and previous years to identify the new values for each player. It’s always fascinating to find which players, often new to the organization, have either gained or lost weight usually signaling a role in the system that’s different from their previous roles. Another large batch is usually rookies, who teams work with to mold into their ideal specifications at the position, often seen at OL/CB and some DL.
Rookies are italicized Their old measurable (2025) is on the left, and new measurable (2026) on the right
Quarterbacks:
Kirk Cousins: 205 pounds -> 209 pounds
Fernando Mendoza: 236 pounds -> 225 pounds Mendoza was 225 pounds during his time at Cal, Indiana bulked him up to around 235 pounds, and the Raiders likely want him lighter to play in their movable pockets, rollouts, boots, and other mobile QB concepts
Jacob Clark: 230 pounds -> 221 pounds
Runningback:
Ashton Jeanty: 211 pounds -> 208 pounds
Mike Washington Jr: 6’1/223 -> 6’2/228
Roman Hemby: 207 pounds -> 211 pounds
Wide Receivers:
Tre Tucker: 182 pounds -> 185 pounds
Jalen Nailor: 200 pounds -> 190 pounds
Nailor entered the NFL at 185 pounds, Minnesota asked him to gain more weight to play a bigger Z receiver role, he’s moving down closer to 190
Jack Bech: 212 pounds -> 215 pounds
Malik Benson: 189 pounds -> 195 pounds 195 pounds would be the heaviest Benson has ever played at

Chase Roberts: 209 pounds -> 212 pounds
Deven Thompkins: 155 pounds -> 160 pounds
Tight End:
Brock Bowers: 6’3/240 -> 6’4/235
Bowers is likely to move across formations more working as a H-Back, Inline, Slot WR, and some boundary receiver which explains the Raiders likely wanting to trim him down a touch
Carter Runyon: 239 pounds -> 245 pounds
Runyon likely playing a true inline role compared to move TE in 2025
Patrick Gurd: 244 pounds -> 252 pounds
Offensive Line:

Dalton Wagner: 315 pounds -> 318 pound
Kamar Missouri: 312 pounds -> 309 pounds
Trey Zuhn III: 312 pounds -> 320 pounds Zuhn is moving from T to IOL, added mass helps add strength which was a decent knock on him pre-draft
DJ Glaze: 331 pounds -> 327 pounds
Isaiah Jatta: 307 pounds -> 315 pounds
Niklas Henning: 287 pounds -> 293 pounds Former Canadian standout OL, highly athletic w/ strength concerns. Will need to add more mass moving forward as well

Charles Grant: 300 -> 305 pounds
Defensive Line:
Gary Smith: 315 pounds -> 319 pounds
Brandon Cleveland: 307 pounds -> 316 pounds Likely a true NT position, played more 2/3 Tech at NC State, signals he’s likely a true 0/1 for the Raiders
JJ Pegues: 325 pounds -> 318 pounds
Pegues most likely won’t be a true NT for the Raiders and he can play a diverse 0-3 technique role on the DL, allows for him to move better at NT as well
Jonah Laulu: 289 pounds -> 291 pounds
Tonka Hemingway: 284 pounds -> 287 pounds
Goal is likely to have Hemingway hold up better vs the run, as the same with Laulu, but maintain his athleticism and quickness off the line of scrimmage

Keyron Crawford: 253 pounds -> 255 pounds
Cian Slone: 241 pounds -> 238 pounds

Linebacker:
Quay Walker: 245 pounds -> 239 pounds
Walker was 240 pounds his first two seasons before being up at 245/250 under Jeff Hafley, he’s now back at around the 240 mark which signals he’s likely transitioning from MIKE to WILL.
Nakobe Dean: 228 pounds -> 232 pounds
Dean came out of Georgia at 228 pounds, he’s likely moving to the MIKE role with Walker to WILL, explaining his small weight gain to hold up with more contact

Cornerback:
Darien Porter: 197 pounds -> 194 pounds

Safety:
Tristin McCollum: 200 pounds -> 195 pounds
Treydan Stukes: 6’1/190 -> 6’2/202 Raiders likely bulking Stukes up to play a BANDIT safety role, and work across defensive secondary at nickel, slot CB, FS, and SS. Ideally added mass and strength but keeps athletic ability
