Geoff Schwartz likes the Raiders' coaching staff and he also likes some of their key pieces. However, he's still not convinced it's enough for them to approach .500.

Carroll, 73, led the Seahawks from 2010 until he stepped down in January 2024. He remained with the organization as an advisor to new coach Mike Macdonald. Over 14 seasons, Carroll guided Seattle to 10 playoff appearances, five NFC West titles and the franchise's first Super Bowl title -- a 43-8 rout of the Denver Broncos to cap the 2013 season.

Most of the Seahawks' starters won't play versus the Raiders, Macdonald said. He also confirmed the 2025 NFL draft rookie class will play, however. That means prominent rookies such as Grey Zabel, Nick Emmanwori, and Elijah Arroyo will receive their first taste of NFL action.
