Las Vegas Raiders are one of the most active teams during the 2025 NFL offseason and have already confirmed several signings for the upcoming season, in addition to parting ways with other key players. Pete Carroll’s team, with Tom Brady as a minority owner, is setting its sights on the Seattle Seahawks.
Carroll has left an indelible mark on the Seahawks, leading them to their only Super Bowl championship to date. In recent hours, many players who were coached by him have started to surface as rumors for potential signings with the Raiders.
One of the Seahawks stars linked to Brady’s Raiders was Tyler Lockett, who was released by Seattle after 10 years with the team. Las Vegas, who signed Alex Cappa from the Cincinnati Bengals, is now reportedly making an attempt to add another star who was coached by Carroll.
Who is the Seahawks star who could play for Carroll’s Raiders?
The Seahawks player looking for a new team and potentially joining the Raiders is none other than D.K. Metcalf. According to information from NBC Sports, Las Vegas has reached out to Seattle to explore the possibility of acquiring the star receiver, who was coached by Carroll in the Seahawks.
DK Metcalf, wide receiver of the Seattle Seahawks
Metcalf has requested a trade after six seasons with the Seahawks, despite having one year left on his contract, with a salary of $18 million for 2025. The relationship between Metcalf and Carroll is notable, as the current Raiders coach coached the receiver in Seattle when he was selected in the second round of the draft.
