Report: Raiders have taken a decision on Derek Carr’s future

After a very dissapointing 2022 NFL season, Josh McDaniels, Raiders’ head coach, decided to sit Derek Carr for the last two games of the campaign and give the team to Jarrett Stidham.

This move started tons of rumors regarding Derek Carr’s future. He’s linked to the Raiders until 2025, but of course anything could happen and it seems like Las Vegas have taken a decision about his quarterback.

According to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, the Raiders will listen to trade offers for Derek Carr. It won’t be an easy move as they will have to agree with the other squad to pay what they owe to the quarterback from the last contract extension they signed.

As of today, there are no offers for Derek Carr, but there are some possible landing spots like Colts, Texans or Steelers that make sense for a trade, but it all depends on that the Raiders decide to do with him.
