It didn’t take long for Russell Wilson to the Las Vegas Raiders to pick up a full head of steam. From nearly the moment reporting confirmed Pete Carroll would become the franchise’s next head coach, dots were connected back to Wilson. Winning a ring together in Seattle, Wilson could be the perfect bridge QB to begin Carroll’s tenure.
Furthering the idea was ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler during a Friday afternoon hit on NFL Live.
“I reached out to a few former Carroll lieutenants in Seattle,” Fowler said. “Both expect Carroll to be a great fit in Las Vegas, but they also both pointed out that they would not be surprised if Carroll reached out to Russell Wilson, possibly trying to sign the free agent [and] make amends for what went wrong at the end of that Seattle era.
