BREAKING: LAS VEGAS RAIDERS officially invites Former Raiders Legend Charles Woodson for interview focusing on a Potential Assistant general manager job; head coach Pete Carroll makes strong verdict terms and conditions evolved
LAS VEGAS RAIDERS officially invites former Raiders legend Charles Woodson for an interview focusing on a potential Assistant General Manager job, while newly appointed head coach Pete Carroll makes a strong verdict as the terms and conditions surrounding the front office role continue to evolve.
In a stunning development out of Las Vegas, the Raiders organization has confirmed that Hall of Fame defensive back Charles Woodson has been formally invited to interview for the Assistant General Manager position — a move that could mark the return of one of the franchise’s most iconic figures in a front office capacity.
Sources close to the organization say the interview is scheduled to take place early next week at Raiders headquarters in Henderson, Nevada. Woodson, who spent 11 seasons with the Raiders across two stints (1998–2005 and 2013–2015), has remained close to the team over the years and has built a respected post-retirement career in broadcasting and business. Now, the possibility of his return in an executive role is generating immense buzz within Raider Nation.
Head coach Pete Carroll, who was brought in during the offseason to usher in a new era of discipline and veteran leadership, has reportedly had a voice in the evolving front office restructuring. Speaking at a press event on Friday, Carroll did not shy away from expressing support for Woodson’s candidacy.
“Charles represents everything this organization values — commitment, excellence, and a deep understanding of what it means to wear the silver and black,” Carroll said. “The terms we’re shaping around this role are meant to bring in leadership that’s both strategic and passionate about the game. Charles fits that vision.”
While the role of Assistant General Manager often stays in the background of the glitzy NFL narrative, in Las Vegas, the position is being recast as a key cog in the Raiders’ rebuild. With front office dynamics shifting under new ownership guidance and Carroll’s arrival, the Raiders are looking to bring in not just football minds, but individuals who can help reshape the culture and long-term direction of the team.
The terms and conditions of the role — still being finalized — reportedly include influence over player development, draft strategy, and organizational branding. Insiders say Woodson’s perspective, especially from a player and media standpoint, could offer a fresh and dynamic presence in the room where decisions are made.
Woodson has yet to comment publicly, but a social media post earlier today sparked speculation, showing him boarding a private flight with the caption: “Business trip.”
If hired, Woodson would become one of the highest-profile former players to enter front office management in recent NFL history, joining a growing trend of franchises leaning into alumni leadership to reconnect with tradition while planning for the future.
