Derek Carr is free to sign with another team without waiting until the beginning of free agency after being released by the Raiders Tuesday.
After so many years of playing from behind with the Raiders, Derek Carr got a head start Tuesday.
We’ll learn what other teams think of Carr by the kind of offers he receives. Is he viewed as a short-term fix for a team looking to groom another quarterback and accept minimal years? A long-term solution in hopes a supporting cast can be constructed to make Carr a winner? Carr has pretty consistently been a top-12 quarterback, although this season he never seemed to connect with the Raiders’ latest regime, headed by coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler. Not long past midseason, it seemed both sides were ready to move on.
Having covered Carr in Oakland from 2014 through 2019, I can’t remember him looking as lost as he was in 2022 while getting shut out 24-0 by New Orleans or a 13-10 loss to the Steelers that precipitated his benching and exit from day-to-day operations. If he forces the issue by insisting on a Deshaun Watson-level full guarantee or more, Baltimore could reluctantly give in. There’s also the possibility what’s going on right now is a contract ploy similar to what Deebo Samuel did for the 49ers last season.
