Wolfe’s report of Alexander heading to the Raiders came on the same day that NFL Network’s Garafolo reported Las Vegas was interviewing Sullivan, who was the Steelers quarterbacks coach the past three seasons.
Sullivan also replaced Matt Canada as Pittsburgh’s offensive play caller for the final eight games of 2023.
