Derek Carr Fantasy

The Las Vegas Raiders haven't given quarterback Derek Carr's agent permission to talk to other teams, according to league and team sources familiar with the situation. It's notable because the Raiders have to trade or cut Carr before Feb. 15, when the $32.9 million base salary for 2023 and $7.5 million for 2024 money become fully guaranteed. The 31-year-old was benched for the final two games of the season, and he left the team completely while also saying goodbye to the organization on social media. Carr is pretty much holding all the cards, since he can veto any trade. If the Raiders simply cut him, they'd have a dead salary cap hit of $5.625 million and nothing in return. In 15 games in 2022, Carr had a 60.8% completion percentage, 3,522 yards, 24 touchdowns and career-high-tying 14 interceptions. A change of scenery could be good for him, and plenty of teams will be looking for a veteran QB.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr recently bid his farewell to the organization and is expected to be traded at some point this offseason. It is believed that Las Vegas is looking to get a deal done by February 15th, before Carr's $40 million salary guarantee is triggered. It's important to note that Carr has a no-trade clause in his contract and therefore will have a say in his destination. With many teams around the NFL currently looking to upgrade at the quarterback position, the 31-year-old should have a new home sooner rather than later.

The Athletic's Zak Keefer says that the Indianapolis Colts won't be trading for Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr. The 31-year-old has a full no-trade clause and $40.4 million in guarantees that trigger on Feb. 15, three days after the Super Bowl. The Raiders need to find a trade partner and work out a promised deal by that date. Carr said goodbye to the Raiders organization on his Twitter account on Thursday. Because of his no-trade clause, he'll have plenty of say in where he plays next, but it doesn't look like the Colts will be pursuing him after using Matt Ryan, Sam Ehlinger and Nick Foles in a very disappointing 2022 season.
