“Who is Going to Be the Raiders’ Quarterback?”: Analyst Wonders as Chip Kelly Joins Pete Carroll’s Mission

Tom Brady has only been an official owner of the Las Vegas Raiders for three and a half months.

In that brief period, though, he has made a major impact.

Brady was integral in luring Pete Carroll to Sin City to be Las Vegas next head coach.

Now, he has convinced former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly to join Carrolls staff as offensive coordinator.

Kelly, who served at the NCAA level as Ohio States offensive coordinator in 2024, was in a cozy position.

He just won a national title with the Buckeyes in January.

Nonetheless, Bradys vision for rebuilding the Raiders was compelling enough to make him leave.

For the short term, Las Vegas appears to have two prominent staff positions sorted out.

However, to make waves in the hotly contested AFC West, they need to find a franchise quarterback.

Las Vegas Raiders Network analyst Sanjit T.

discussed the teams options heading into the 2025 campaign.

In that recap, he alluded to one of Kellys former players as a potential solution.

That solid quarterback is Kansas State transfer Will Howard.

Howard dominated the College Football Playoff for Kelly, completing 75.2% of his passes (82/105) for 1,150 yards, eight touchdowns and just two interceptions in Ohio States championship run.

Theres a big step up from college football to the NFL, but Kellys history with Howard could pay dividends for the Raiders if they select him in the NFL Draft.

Sanjit T: Chip Kelly likely wont become NFL head coach in 2026 One of the reasons Brady wanted Carroll to be Las Vegas head coach is his proven ability to establish a culture.

Carroll had a seven-year stretch at USC (2002-08) where he posted an incredible 82-9 record.

In Seattle, he went 98-41-1 in a nine-year span (2012-20).

He won a championship with the Trojans and Super Bowl XLVIII with the Seahawks.

Carroll, at age 74, is the oldest head coach in NFL history.

Hes not the Raiders long-term solution, but hes an incredible bridge to whoever will follow in his footsteps.

Sanjit T.

believes that could end up being Kelly.

Kelly has succeeded as a college and NFL head coach in his career.

He could be a candidate to replace Carroll down the line.

What feels more likely, though, is him becoming Bradys version of Josh McDaniels: the long-time, reliable offensive coordinator whose constant presence aids a franchise quarterbacks development.

Brady still needs to figure out who Las Vegas next quarterback is.

He also needs to find his long-term head coach; someone who can be Bill Belichick to Kellys McDaniels.

But Rome wasnt built in a day.

Bradys early returns on setting a foundation are excellent.

And that is something Raiders fans can appreciate as the offseason gets into full swing..
