With the Raiders hiring former Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and with former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson becoming a free agent and with the Raiders clearly needing an upgrade at quarterback, there are obvious dots to connect between Carroll and Wilson.

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.

Wilson helped lead the Seahawks to eight playoff appearances and one Super Bowl win in 2013 and produced the best seasons of his NFL career under Carroll. Making matters more interesting is the fact that Wilson reportedly wanted to join the Raiders last offseason prior to signing with the Steelers.
