Malcolm Koonce: Breaking News

Returning to Las Vegas

The Raiders re-signed Koonce to a one-year, $11 million contract Tuesday, Levi Damien of USA Today reports. Koonce re-ups with Las Vegas after having played out the 2025 campaign on a one-year deal with the team. He suited up for all 17 regular-season games last year, notching 30 total tackles (14 solo), including 4.5 sacks, plus one forced fumble. In the wake of Maxx Crosby being traded to the Ravens, the Raiders' defensive scheme may rely on Koonce in an increased role in 2026.

Notches 4.5 sacks in 2025

Koonce tallied 30 total tackles (14 solo), including 4.5 sacks, to go along with one forced fumble across 17 games in 2025. Koonce, who missed the 2024 campaign due to a torn ACL, played 45 percent of the Raiders' defensive snaps in his return from the major knee injury. His 4.5 sacks were second on the team behind only Pro Bowler Maxx Crosby, but Koonce may land elsewhere in 2026 as he becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Gets to quarterback Week 1

Koonce recorded three tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and forced a fumble Sunday in a 20-13 victory versus the Patriots. Koonce came up with a big sack in the fourth quarter, bringing down Drake Maye for an eight-yard loss. Maye fumbled on the play, but New England was able to recover. Koonce is off to a good start after tallying a career-best 8.0 sacks over 17 contests last year.
