Raiders officially informed QB Derek Carr that he has been released, per source. Team released him before $40.4 million in his contract became guaranteed today. Carr is now a free agent and is expected to draw interest from the Saints and Panthers, amongst others.



And so it begins

I think he “lost” $40M guaranteed today. Am I reading this wrong?

Not how that worked. He get nothing by getting released. Raiders have to recognize the deferred portion of his signing bonus, and the avoid the next $40.4M of his contract (2023 salary plus some of 2024) being guaranteed.

I hope the Saints sign him in 30 minutes and he comes out and says frick the Raiders, I didn't want my boy DA to have to give up a pick that he could use on a Guard or a Receiver for me.

Can he do this or does he have to wait until March 15 when FA starts?

I read they still owed him $40M anyway.

His total guaranteed money on that contract was $65M.

It’s a no brainer; Saints need to go all in to get him.

IF we are going to sign him, wait a few days. Goodell will scream collusion and likely ban us from post season play next year....

What would be the concern? The Raiders granted us permission to meet with him. We did not break any rules.

Everyone is saying he is free to sign immediately with a team.

Do it as soon as possible before Tampa realizes they have Kyle Trask as a starting QB

The whole division needs QBs and may panic on other trades/FA signings if we lock Carr up immediately. Come on down!

Wonder if carr waits on Rodgers. Once Rodgers is decided, carr probably becomes the main target
