The nine-year long marriage between the Las Vegas Raiders and Derek Carr is officially over. After Carr had a no-trade clause in his contract and then vetoed recent trade talks between the Raiders and the Saints, he was released this week.
When reviewing Carr’s 2022 season, it’s surprising that the Raiders want to move on.
Carr performed at an average- to above-average level with what he had. He threw for 3,522 yards and 24 touchdowns and even made it into the Pro Bowl (as an alternate).
“Well… maybe this invitation got lost in the mail from past seasons but I’m going back to Pro Bowl #4. See you soon Vegas!” said Carr.
Even though Carr didn’t have the season he envisioned, he does have some qualities that teams could use in the 2023 season.
