Raiders' Jermaine Eluemunor calls out old regime during AFC Championship Game

There are much brighter days ahead for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024. The last two years were awful, and a large reason is that the regime that was brought in didn't fit. It was about the "Patriot Way" and not the "Raider Way," as it should be. With Antonio Pierce, it's back to exactly how everyone wants it.

But that regime, and the ones before it, made some decisions that will haunt the Raiders. For example, last season, they signed Jimmy Garoppolo to a huge three-year, $72 million contract, just for him to be benched and not start a game again.

And he likely won't next season unless someone gets hurt. It will haunt them because they could be using that money this offseason to make their roster even better with players who will actually play. They made another questionable move, but I wouldn't say one that will haunt the Raiders. One former player or he could even return next season as he will be a free agent, thinks the old regime messed up.

Jermaine Eluemunor had a good season playing offensive tackle for the Raiders and stepped up a few times when Kolton Miller went out. He allowed just six sacks during the year, which isn't terrible.

His former running mate, John Simpson, played for the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs, including these AFC Championship Games, where he went up against the Kansas City Chiefs. Eleumunor let everyone know the former regime was bad for letting Simpson walk.

Crazy the old regime cut a player who's now the starting LG for the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship…who woulda thought. So happy for my guy
