His time with the Seahawks saw him draft and develop Russell Wilson into his franchise quarterback and with the passer set to become a free agent following a one-year stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers, it didn’t take long for speculation linking Wilson with a move to the Raiders to emerge.

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.

The Las Vegas Raiders have their new head coach in 73-year-old Pete Carroll, who is charged with getting this organization back to winning ways. Arguably the most important decision Carroll will make is who his next quarterback will be.
