“It’s been such a blessing to be here. It’s truly first class,” said Russell Wilson about the Steelers after losing the wildcard to the Ravens in early January. He had a decent run at the franchise, ending the 2024 season with a 6-5 record. But now that their season has ended, an NFL legend has come up with a suggestion for Mr. Unlimited.

While talking to the NFL insider Diana Russini on the January 31 episode of Scoop City, Super Bowl winner Chase Daniel delved into Russ’ future. He pointed to Darrell Bevell, rumored to be the next Raiders offensive coordinator, and said, “Bevell’s offense was the exact same offense that Russell Wilson had pretty much put together with him in Seattle. I feel like if Russell went to the Raiders he would have a very big say in how the offense has run whereas if you’re in Pittsburgh…”

Daniel then brought out how Russell Wilson had glorious years with the Seahawks from 2013 to 2018. In 2013, the Hawks even won the Super Bowl XLVIII. And in those 5 years, they qualified for the playoffs each season. Daniel saw the process first hand when he was with Bevell at the Lions in 2020.

Russell Wilson’s future with the Steelers is in jeopardy. Mike Tomlin claimed after their season ended that he believed more in the young Justin Fields as their starting quarterback for the 2025 season. While there’s no confirmation about it yet, we might have Russ as a free agent as the window nears.

However, there could be a hindrance for Mr. Unlimited to return to the Raiders. Their head coach, Pete Carroll.

Will Pete Carroll bring Russell Wilson to the Raiders?

2021 was a year the Hawks would like to delete from their history. They suffered their first double-digit losing season since 2009 with a 7-10 record and finished last in their division for the first time since 1996, Wilson missed 3 games with injury and had a 6-8 record, which saw him traded to the Broncos. But he wanted them to fire the HC Pete Carroll instead. Well, that didn’t happen till 2023.

However, Carroll is back in the saddle as the Raiders HC. Daniel questioned the very incident that happened at the end and added, “Do we forget that Russell tried to get Pete fired? So, how did they mend it? When did they mend it? Are we sure it’s actually mended?”

Well, Russell Wilson tweeted in February 2023 that Carroll was like a father figure to him, and there were no such signs of animosity. But can they ignore everything and come together to revive a franchise that’s struggling? Not to forget, Tom Brady, the minority owner, will also be an influence that anyone at the Raiders will have to deal with.

This is going to be an interesting year for the Vegas franchise. Could it be sprinkled with a tinge of nostalgia from this Super Bowl-winning duo turning back the clock?
