From the moment we heard that Pete Carroll was coming back to be the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, we wondered if Pittsburgh Steelers free-agent quarterback Russell Wilson would be heading out west to join him.

Over the past few hours, the Raiders ended their searches for a general manager and head coach. Reports have John Spytek signing a five-year deal to become the next GM and Pete Carroll signing a three-year deal to become the next head coach.

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.

Wilson and Carroll—of course—spent 10 seasons together with the Seattle Seahawks from 2012 to '21, winning four NFC West titles, two NFC championships and Super Bowl XLVIII. There was reportedly some tension between the two down the stretch, and the QB was eventually traded to the Denver Broncos in 2022.

Head Coach Kevin Stefanski will begin next season as the offensive play caller in Cleveland. The Bengals’ new defensive coordinator wants to help them start faster in September.

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.
