Spillane tallied 158 total tackles (91 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and seven passes defended (with two interceptions) across 17 regular-season games in 2024. Spillane has been one of the NFL's most productive inside linebackers over the last two years, recording the fourth-most total tackles (306) in the league along with 11 passes defended, including five interceptions, during that span. He's now led the Raiders' defense in tackles each of the last two seasons while also ranking second in tackles for loss and fourth in passes defended in 2024. The 29-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer and is likely to demand a high salary for 2025, having established himself as one of the league's top tacklers.

Spillane tallied 158 total tackles (91 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and seven passes defended (with two interceptions) across 17 regular-season games in 2024. Spillane has been one of the NFL's most productive inside linebackers over the last two years, recording the fourth-most total tackles (306) in the league along with 11 passes defended, including five interceptions, during that span. He's now led the Raiders' defense in tackles each of the last two seasons while also ranking second in tackles for loss and fourth in passes defended in 2024.

Spillane finished Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints with eight tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses. Spillane led the Raiders in tackling Sunday, and he registered his second sack of the season when he took down Spencer Rattler for a 10-yard loss late in the third quarter, which forced the Saints to punt on the next play. Spillane played every single defensive snap, which he has done in 13 of 16 regular-season games. He's up to 142 combined tackles on the season, and he'll have an opportunity to break his career high set in 2023 (148 combined tackles through 17 regular-season games) against the Chargers next Sunday.
Spillane secured eight tackles (five solo) Sunday in a 19-14 win against Jacksonville. Spillane's tackle total ranked second on the Raiders and marked his fourth straight contest with at least seven stops. The veteran linebacker is up to 134 tackles on the season, seventh-most in the NFL. Spillane needs 14 stops over Las Vegas' final two games to reach the career-high mark of 148 he established last year.
Spillane logged eight tackles (four solo), a pass deflection and an interception during the Raiders' loss versus the Falcons on Monday. Spillane was one of Las Vegas' few bright spots during Monday's loss as he finished second on the team in tackles in addition to snagging his second interception of the season. He will look to build off this strong performance and produce again during the team's Week 16 matchup versus the Jaguars.
Spillane registered seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 28-13 loss to Tampa Bay. Spillane tied Darnay Holmes for the second-most tackles on the Raiders on Sunday behind Tre'von Moehrig (eight). Spillane has played every single defensive snap in the four games since the Raiders' Week 10 bye, and has done so in 11 of 13 regular-season contests. He's up to 118 tackles (72 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass defenses and one interception.
Spillane finished Friday's Week 13 loss to the Chiefs with nine tackles (seven solo). Spillane led Las Vegas in stops in the loss, though he failed to reach double-digit tackles for just the fifth time through 12 contests this season. The star linebacker currently ranks third in the NFL with 111 tackles, though most other defenders have yet to play their Week 13 game. In any case, Spillane remains a strong IDP asset due to this ability to rack up stops.
Spillane recorded 11 tackles (five solo) during Las Vegas' loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. Spillane's strong season continues as he once again led the team in total stops. Sunday's loss was the seventh time this season the 28-year-old has racked up double-digit tackles in just 10 games played, and he will look to keep producing during the team's Week 12 matchup versus the Broncos.
Spillane racked up 11 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 34-19 loss to the Dolphins. Spillane had a chance to get healthy during the Raiders' bye after playing through a knee injury in Week 9, and he ultimately paced the defense in takedowns Sunday while bringing his season tally to 97 total tackles through 10 games. He'll have his hands full again in Week 12 against a Broncos offense that just hung 38 points on Atlanta.
Spillane registered seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 41-24 loss to Cincinnati. Spillane played through a knee injury Sunday, but he managed to finish tied with Isaiah Pola-Mao for second-most tackles on the team behind Tre'von Moehrig (13). Spillane hasn't managed to crack 10 combined tackles in three of his last four games, but he's up to 86 tackles through nine regular-season games, which is tied with Nick Cross for fourth-most in the NFL.
