The Las Vegas Raiders desperately need to rebuild after the 2025 NFL season. A close Week 16 loss against the Houston Texans doesn't change that fact. Yes, there were several strong outings from the Raiders' promising young players, but Las Vegas simply needs more talent than it has in the building.
With the Raiders' path to improvement being incredibly obvious this offseason, Pete Carroll's job security is now the franchise's burning question. Fans have wondered how committed a 74-year-old can be to rebuilding, especially when he has been vocally resistant to the idea for most of the year.
