The Las Vegas Raiders could be prime competition for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback after they hired head coach Pete Carroll.

After the Raiders hired Pete Carroll, pending free agent QB Russell Wilson is a name to watch for Las Vegas this offseason.

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.

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.

Carroll will become the oldest head coach in NFL history when he turns 74 in September, but the Raiders clearly view him as someone able to get this franchise back on the right tr

Former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson’s one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers will be expiring this spring, but it appears both sides are working to keep Wilson in the Steel City for a little bit longer.

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.

The Pittsburgh Steelers face critical quarterback decisions after a rocky 2024 season, as speculation grows about Russell Wilson reuniting with former coach Pete Carroll in Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Raiders need to find a quarterback now that they have hired Pete Carroll as their new head coach, and a reunion between the 73-year-old and Russell Wilson seems like a legitimate possibility.
