Russell Wilson

The Athletic’s Jeff Howe said one name he has “heard to watch” for the Raiders at QB is Russell Wilson.

This bit of information comes less than an hour after it was reported the Raiders and Pete Carroll had agreed to terms for Carroll to become the next head coach. According to Howe, Wilson and Carroll have “mended fences” since the Seahawks traded Wilson to Denver ahead of the 2022 season, which could leave the door open for the two to reunite in Vegas. Wilson, who will be a free agent this offseason, threw for 2482-16-5 in his 11 regular season starts with the Steelers, and went one-and-done in the playoffs after losing to the Ravens in the wild card round. He’s a familiar face who Carroll could benefit from having in the building to help bring along a younger quarterback, but he wouldn’t serve as anything more than a one or two-year solution. We’re still early in this process, but Wilson’s name sounds like one to watch as free agency draws closer.
