The Las Vegas Raiders were an absolute dumpster fire over the course of 2025.
After a horrendous 3-14 season, it was the least likely of shocks to see Vegas make head coach Pete Carroll a one-and-done figurehead, firing him on Black Monday and opening the door to what'll be yet another extensive rebuild out in the desert.
It was evident Carroll wasn't jiving with first-year general manager John Spytek, who likely wanted to usher in a lengthy roster reconstruction in the wake of the franchise's notorious history of cycling through head coaches. The aging Carroll probably didn't want to oversee such a lengthy rebuild and frequently opted to play veterans over younger talent despite Las Vegas' own floundering on a week-to-week basis.
