The Oakland Raiders have recently made the difficult decision to part ways with their long-time quarterback, Derek Carr. After spending seven seasons with the Raiders, Carr is now a free agent and looking for a new team.
Carr was selected by the Raiders in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft and quickly became the face of the franchise. He started all 16 games in each of his first five seasons and was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2016. During his time with the Raiders, Carr threw for over 25,000 yards and 144 touchdowns. He also set franchise records for most passing yards in a single season (4,039) and most passing touchdowns in a single season (32).
Despite his impressive stats, the Raiders decided to move on from Carr due to their desire to rebuild the team. The team has struggled in recent years and is looking to start fresh with a new quarterback. The Raiders have already signed former Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and are expected to draft another quarterback in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Carr’s departure from the Raiders is certainly a sad moment for fans of the team. He was beloved by many and will be remembered for his leadership and dedication to the team. However, it is clear that the Raiders are looking to move in a different direction and are confident that their new quarterback will help them achieve success in the future.
It remains to be seen where Carr will end up next, but he will undoubtedly be an asset to any team he joins. He is an experienced quarterback with a proven track record of success and should have no trouble finding a new home in the NFL.
