NFL insider Ian Rapoport floated an idea for that veteran presence: Russell Wilson, the former quarterback for Carroll's Seahawks. Rapoport reported that the two have remained close and that Wilson is a strong candidate to sign with the Raiders.

Two days after Pete Carroll reached a long-term agreement to become the Raiders’ next head coach, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Carroll’s former quarterback in Seattle, Russell Wilson, is a “strong option” to fill Las Vegas’ void under center.

With the Las Vegas Raiders still in the market for a head coach after striking out on Ben Johnson, one NFL analyst believes the team will pivot to an offensive coordinator with a plethora of experience.

Raider Nation, rejoice; the Las Vegas Raiders have landed John Spytek. Officially. Sin City laid their first brick of the Tom Brady era on Wednesday, agreeing to terms with John Spytek for the team’s general manager position.

The Las Vegas Raiders set the tone for the 2025 offseason, reportedly finalizing terms to hire John Spytek as their new general manager.

On Friday, the longtime Seattle Seahawks coach reached a deal with the Raiders on a three-year contract, with the option for a fourth year. Now, a reunion with former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is reportedly on the table.

After the Las Vegas Raiders failed to land Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who took the head-coach job with the Chicago Bears, the team needs to pivot to another option. One NFL analyst believes it'll be a three-time offensive coordinator who has a wealth of NFL experience.

In Las Vegas, the rumor mill has been ... coordinator Ben Johnson off the board, the Raiders need to pivot elsewhere. They have shown interest in and/or interviewed Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, Chiefs ...

Wilson earned Pro Bowl honors nine times during their run together, but since their split — the quarterback was traded to the Denver Broncos in March 2022 — neither he nor his former head coach have had much in the way of success to write home about.

Johnson seemed like the Raiders' Plan A. Now, where will Mark Davis, Tom Brady and the franchise turn to find their new head coach?

The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to hire Pete Carroll, who spent 14 seasons leading the Seattle Seahawks, as their new head coach. Carroll, who was a Seahawks adviser this season, has a career record of 170-120-1.
