4 teams that could acquire Derek Carr via trade or as a free agent
Derek Carr's future does not seem to be linked to the Las Vegas Raiders, since beyond the fact that there is still a possibility of being renewed by the organization, the relationship between the player and the board of directors is broken.
The Raiders have the possibility to trade him before his renewal option expires, otherwise he could become a free agent and leave them with nothing. Here are 4 teams to which the 31-year-old quarterback could leave for the next NFL season.
#4. Carolina Panthers
The Panthers seem to have no direction and maybe the best way to start reorganizing their project would be to bring in a quarterback that gives them confidence, different from what we have seen from players like Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield or P.J. Walker this season.
#3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
NFL legend Tom Brady has signed a contract extension that ensures the seven-time Super Bowl champion will continue to perform with his "Let's Go!" podcast. Earlier this month, Brady announced his retirement from the NFL after 23 seasons following a disappointing 2022, in which the 45-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers struggled.
#2. Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts took a gamble on Matt Ryan and things didn't work out well, even though there were high expectations for what the veteran could accomplish. If they want to take advantage of their talented roster, they will need a better leader and it certainly won't be Ryan or Nick Foles at the helm.
#1. New York Jets
The Jets had a good start to the season, but ended up collapsing with six straight losses to be eliminated from playoff contention. Zach Wilson was far from what is expected of him, with Joe Flacco and Mike White getting opportunities without much success, so adding a reliable quarterback seems a priority.
