Raiders release QB Derek Carr

He'd immediately be the best QB in the NFC South if one of them signs him.

Carolina seems like a better spot because of the head coach and draft capital.

I wonder, if the Raiders don't get Aaron Rodgers, will they tank? I would imagine Rodgers will either be a Jet or a Raider. Perhaps, if they don't get Rodgers, the Raiders may prefer to blow it up and try again next season. Tank the season. Trade all possible draftable players, and try to have a worse team than the Broncos so they can draft a top QB next year.

Jets or NFC South

 

[SoMizzUnderstood]

He would fit in with Jets IMO...or NFC south

 

[Nexx]

even the Raiders know when to cut ties with mediocrity even though it might be uncomfortable and not good for winning regular season games now... Jones's perpetuate paying mediocrity and being ok with winning regular season games.

Agreed

If they go with Chase Garbers, the only QB currently on the roster, they won't have to tank. It'll happen naturally.

Keep an eye on Jimmy G. He and McDaniels have a past, and I don't think McDaniels can afford another bad season. He's still trying to prove himself as a HC.

And people make fun of us for only getting a 5th for Coop. Not getting anything for him is ridiculous!

The Niners would be out of their minds not to snag him

you trade for him you take his contract. Think on that.

Hard to compare him to Cooper.

Carr had a NTC in his deal, so, he sort of controlled his future and with that guarantee to his 2023 and 2024 salary happening the next day the Raiders couldn't take that risk of holding onto him and hoping Carr would eventually accept a trade to a team willing to offer decent compensation.
Add in a bad 2022 season, the writing was on the wall he would be cut. The team designed his deal to have an early out, and Carr got the NTC so they couldn't simply trade him to the highest bidder.

its what happens when a player has a no trade clause
