The Raiders signed Malcolm Koonce to a 1 year, 11 million extension this off-season which tied him to Las Vegs till the end of the 2025 season. Koonce, just 27 years old was coming off a torn ACL in 2024 that prevented him from recording a snap the entire season. In 2023, Koonce showed the expectations could be existent for him logging 52 pressures, 8 sacks, 9 TFL, and 7 QB hits. This season, Koonce has struggled at times especially early in the season logging just 17 pressure through the first 9 games and just one sack. Koonce, recovering from the torn ACL did show signs of improvement as a run defender with the highest run stop win rate, run double team rate, and run stop rate. Koonce was also holding a 15.2% pass rush win rate which sat just above league average.<\/p>\n
In the last five weeks, Koonce has seemingly turned the corner into the 2023 version he was as he\u2019s logged 14 pressures, 2 sacks, 7 QB Hits, and a 19.9% pass rush win rate which includes a week 17 performance where he logged 7 pressures, a sack, 3 hits, and a 28% win rate vs the Giants in a 34-10 loss for the Raiders. Koonce has been the subject of a lot of discussion this off-season with the Raiders likely looking to add more to their pass rush this off-season, and with Koonce being a free agent there\u2019s a world this is his last season with the Raiders. Koonce\u2019s projected market value sits at 2 years, 14 million for an AAV of 7 million which is perfectly acceptable to pay for a rotational pass rusher that in previous stints has shown the capability to be a highly productive starting caliber pass rusher. The Raiders have nearly 110 million in cap space and with a unit deeply lacking pass rush depth, retaining Koonce should be in the mix this off-season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Raiders signed Malcolm Koonce to a 1 year, 11 million extension this off-season which tied him to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":648936,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2065],"tags":[7,1744,393,77335,2455,2454,6,525],"class_list":{"0":"post-648935","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-las-vegas-raiders","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-las-vegas","10":"tag-las-vegas-raiders","11":"tag-las-vegas-raiders-analysis","12":"tag-lasvegas","13":"tag-lasvegasraiders","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-raiders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115827384521429522","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=648935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/648936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=648935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=648935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=648935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
