Report: Derek Carr doing his homework on 'prospective teams' like the Saints

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that longtime Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has begun looking into the teams that may try and trade for him in the weeks ahead, having been benched for the final two weeks of the regular season to protect the Raiders from risking an injury guarantee in the remaining years on his contract. Carr’s no-trade clause gives him some leverage in choosing where he’ll go next, but the New Orleans Saints have been listed among his potential suitors.
Fowler explained the situation: “Derek Carr, he will be traded; that is the expectation. I’m told that he’s started to do his homework on prospective teams. He has a no-trade clause, so he’s got a lot of power here. The teams I talk to expect a variation of the Saints, the Commanders, and the Jets to all inquire. I’m told some teams have already made some early initial calls to the Raiders but still in the process of coming out of the season. There’s not a lot of traction yet. Expect this to heat up closer to the Super Bowl.”
That lines up with the time-frame that saw the Detroit Lions agree to swap quarterbacks with the Los Angeles Rams a few offseasons ago, exchanging Jared Goff for Matthew Stafford for a couple of early draft picks just days after that year’s Super Bowl. The Raiders have a hard deadline of Feb. 15 to find a trade partner for Carr before more than $40 million guarantees over the next two years. If they can’t find a trade partner at that point, he’ll be released.
But Fowler’s report suggests a trade market is already heating up as various teams begin to look into the cost to acquire Carr. A package of multiple second- and third-round picks could probably get that done, and the Saints have the means to do so. Carr would probably waive his no-trade clause to work with head coach Dennis Allen again (who drafted him with the Raiders back in 2014). You just have to ask how big of an upgrade Carr is over Andy Dalton and Jameis Winston, if at all.
It doesn’t sound like we’ll have to wait long to get our answer. With the Saints choosing to keep Pete Carmichael at offensive coordinator and run it back with a mostly-intact coaching staff after their mediocre 7-10 season, it’s absolutely critical that Allen find a quarterback he has faith in. It’s just unclear whether Saints fans share that belief in his ability to find a passer to team up with.

No way the Saints find the space for his contract. Dude is owed 40mil+ in each of the next two seasons. Better he gets released and the Saints sign him to a more friendly contract.

If any gm gives up a 2nd or 3rd for Carr with his contract, they should be fired on the spot.
But then again gm’s in this league gave up multiple thirds for Wentz and Matt Ryan last year.

People should really stop acting like we should be excited about Derek fricking Carr.

I’m convinced the raiders are pumping this trade stuff out there. If you want the guy tell him to call you when he’s released. The Raiders are the only team this benefits.

I wouldnt trade for him unless Raiders agree to pay part of that contract. A good portion.
Think they Browns did that with Baker and it was relatively low risk for Carolina.

Why in the frick would we bring in Carr?
We already have one interception machine sitting on the bench. Two wrongs don't make a right.

The compensation will be determined by how much money the raiders eat

All the stuff coming out about Carr after he left the team makes him look like a huge pussy
Posted on 1/23/23 at 7:24 am to hellsu
Not worth it. Dalton is just as good for much cheaper

Multiple 3rds (this year and next), I could live with.
He's not my desired player. Think of it this way though: If hes great, then he was worth the picks. If not, then hes worth the upgraded 1st we'll get when we suck. If hes somewhere in between, we dropped our quarterback of the future in '24 and let him develop for a year or 2.

There’s reports of him being cut if a trade is not found. That’s not 3rd type compensation

Carr has a no trade clause. He must agree to new team. He literally holds all the cards. His trade value is minimal with that in mind.
