The Las Vegas Raiders are beefing up their linebacker corps with Nakobe Dean, signing the former University of Georgia standout to a three-year, $36 million deal that includes $20 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network Insiders Mike Garafolo, Ian Rapoport, and Tom Pelissero.
Dean comes to Las Vegas after a mixed 2025 season in Philadelphia, where he played in just 10 games but still recorded 55 tackles, seven for loss, and 4.0 sacks, following a 128-tackle campaign the year prior. With a $12 million-per-year average, Dean ranks among the top eight linebackers in the NFL in salary and gives the Raiders a versatile option who can contribute as both a tackler and occasional pass rusher.
