Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders may reportedly part ways in the offseason. The team may look to trade him after benching him for the final two weeks of the season.
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr calls signals against the Steelers in Pittsburgh, Dec. 24, 2022.
Raiders coach Josh McDaniels saw enough and named Jarrett Stidham the starting quarterback for the game against the 49ers and the final game against the Kansas City Chiefs. It’ll cap off what was supposed to be an exciting year for Las Vegas. Going into the offseason, the Raiders will have to make a decision when it comes to Carr and the future of the quarterback position. He signed a three-year extension in April worth $121.5 million. According to Spotrac, Carr has an out in the offseason. If Las Vegas doesn’t trade him and Carr decides to stick around by Feb. 15, his 2023 salary of $32.9 million will be guaranteed as well as $7.5 million of his full guarantees in 2024.
