Rumors have circulated about Russell Wilson going to the Las Vegas Raiders ever since his former Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was hired as the new head coach. Wilson is set to become a free agent this offseason unless the Pittsburgh Steelers decide to re-sign him.

The Las Vegas Raiders are hiring Pete Carroll to be the team’s head coach, according to reports. ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero first reported the news. CNN has reached out to the Raiders for comment.

Pete Carroll is back in the NFL, and he'll be chomping gum on the sideline of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025. The Raiders will be in the market for a quarterback this offseason, either via the draft or free agency. One free agent quarterback could be an enticing match for Carroll and one he has previous experience with.
