Dennison previously served as Buffalo’s offensive coordinator during the 2017 season, contributing to the team’s playoff push before being let go after one year. He has since held roles as an offensive run game coordinator and offensive line coach with the New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings, and most recently served as an offensive run game coordinator/senior offensive advisor with the Seattle Seahawks and as a senior offensive assistant with the New Orleans Saints in 2024.
The move aligns Dennison with Kubiak, who led the Seahawks’ offense last season, and positions the Raiders to further develop their up-front unit as they navigate an offseason that could include substantial quarterback decisions, including the potential departure of Geno Smith.
Looking ahead, Las Vegas holds the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, a strategic asset that could influence the team’s quarterback plans. Speculation has centered on Indiana signal-caller Fernando Mendoza, who recently won the Heisman Trophy, as a possible option for the Raiders if they choose to pursue a long-term replacement at the position.
Buffalo’s trajectory remains a point of discussion, as the Bills aim to maintain playoff contention with quarterback Josh Allen healthy. The mutual impact of these personnel moves could see the Bills and Raiders meet in future postseason scenarios, underscoring the evolving landscape of both teams’ rosters and coaching staffs.
