The word “culture” will be thrown around a lot when Carroll and Spytek are introduced, but "continuity" might be the bigger word.

After Ben Johnson opted to join the Chicago Bears, Tom Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders pivoted to hire Pete Carroll as their new head coach, reportedly agreeing to terms on a three-year deal with a fourth-year team option.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport floated an idea for that veteran presence: Russell Wilson, the former quarterback for Carroll's Seahawks. Rapoport reported that the two have remained close and that Wilson is a strong candidate to sign with the Raiders.
