Walker, 25, received a three-year, $40.5 million deal from the Raiders after coming off a 2025 season where he put up a career-high 128 tackles in 14 games. The four-year linebacker has finished three straight seasons with exactly 2.5 sacks.
Dean, 25, received three-years, $36 million from the Raiders. He finished the 2025 season with 55 tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles, and one pass deflection 10 games (eight starts). He missed the start of the season after recovering from a torn patellar tendon.
The two are just a handful of big splashes the Raiders made on Monday.
