Not saying he got screwed at all, just that if the Raiders want to move on, he should get the most out of the situation for himself.

His contract is structured in a way that he can take full advantage of, and he should absolutely do so.

Raider nation should probably come to grips with getting a shit coach and probably not be so gleeful their QB is going elsewhere.

If he goes to the NFC South, he's winning that division and getting a chance to play for the championship he desires. Carolina makes the absolute most sense to me from his perspective. He'd have a WR capable of being top-5 caliber to throw to, a good running game, and a fairly solid defense behind him if the offense is good.

As for Carolina, they have two 2nd round picks. Absolutely swing one for Carr. I wouldn't trade my 1st, but I'd give my higher 2nd. Take Mayer at the 9th pick so he has a TE to pair up in the passing game with DJ Moore.

Carr holds all the cards. He is ****ing over the raiders my not extending the period.

Don't get me wrong, raiders were wise to bench him so he didn't get hurt. But now they have no leverage.

Today the Raiders allowed Carr to talk to certain teams who have already agreed on compensation if a trade transpires.

He could do that. The Raiders could also play hardball.

Probably best for both to work out a trade of Carrs liking. Many reasons why he'd want to keep his current contract.






With the picks they got from the Broncos (1&2) they could ask the Raiders to absorb a big chunk of the salary for a decent compensation. Saints would get a decent QB, have a good defense, and play in a division that really has no leader. Seems like a no brainer for the Saints to trade Sean Payton for essentially Carr with a reduced cap number.

Even then they’d still have to take a sawzall to their defense to get under the cap.
