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.

With the glaring need at quarterback in Las Vegas, the immediate dot-connecting when the Raiders hired Pete Carroll suggested his former Seahawks signal-caller Russell Wilson could follow.
