Former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is back in the NFL. Over the weekend it was reported that he had taken the head coach vacancy for the Las Vegas Raiders. As Carroll sets up to compete in a brutally competitive AFC West division, the first order of business should be finding a franchise quarterback.

If the Seahawks and Geno Smith can’t agree on an extension early this offseason, Las Vegas would seem to be logical trade option now that Carroll is there. The Raiders need a QB and Carroll has an affinity for Smith, once calling him one of his all-time favorite players.
