Raiders Hire Carroll, Add Smith and Devin White

The Las Vegas Raiders have made major offseason changes for the 2025 season, hiring head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek, and acquiring veteran quarterback Geno Smith to help turn around a struggling franchise. The arrival of linebacker Devin White has further energized the locker room, boosting motivation and camaraderie among players. Geno Smith's experience and leadership are credited with providing stability, benefitting both teammates and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. Young quarterback Aidan O'Connell is expected to progress under Smith's mentorship, despite early setbacks in his career. The franchise's connection to minority owner Tom Brady continues to enhance its leadership mix. These strategic moves have generated optimism about the Raiders' prospects for both immediate and long-term success.
