Fans back both Russell Wilson and Geno Smith
The big question about the Las Vegas Raiders 2025 roster is who will be the franchise’s next quarterback.
Naturally, attention has been focused on former quarterbacks of new Raiders’ coach Pete Carroll.
The early speculation, of course, has revolved around a couple of Carroll’s former quarterbacks during his time with the Seattle Seahawks. Silver and Black Pride, among other outlets, have reported that some sources close to both Carroll and Russell Wilson think a pairing in Las Vegas is possible and both the player and coach would be on board with the idea.
There has been other media speculation stating that if the Seahawks don’t give Geno Smith an extension, he could be a trade candidate for the Raiders.
We recently asked our community members who would they rather the Raiders pursue this offseason, Wilson or Smith.
And our answer is … both.
It was an incredibly close poll with 753 votes cast. Smith has support of 378 voters and Wilson receiver 375 votes.
Wilson is 36 and is a free agent and would likely cheaper than Smith, but he would probably be a shorter-term answer.
Smith is 34 and he could cost Las Vegas trade compensation and probably a bigger contract but he may be able to play a bit longer tan Wilson.
It’s a tough call and our results show that.
