Five possible landing spots for Derek Carr

On Tuesday there were significant National Football League news as the Las Vegas Raiders announced they have released quarterback Derek Carr of Fresno, California according to Caio Miari of The Score.

The release occurred despite the fact Carr was selected to represent the AFC in the 2023 Pro Bowl. Carr completed 305 passes in 502 attempts for 3522 yards, 24 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Here are five destinations Carr could end up as quarterback.


5) Washington Commanders

There is no doubt that Washington head coach Ron Rivera has improved the defense since arriving to Washington. The Commanders gave up only 343 points last season, the third least in the NFC. Now Washington may look for an offensive upgrade so they can properly contend against their division foes.

4) New York Jets

It would not be surprising if the Jets look for some veteran leadership to accommodate their young guns. Zach Wilson’s second overall selection by the Jets raised eyebrows at the time, and those same skeptics back in 2021 may be encouraging Jets management to sign Carr now.


3) New Orleans Saints

Just because Carr turned down a trade to New Orleans does not mean Carr may not join the Saints. It appeared he would have probably turned down any possible trade option, so he could be released and be a free agent. Like the Commanders, the Saints were excellent defensively in 2022, but are looking to upgrade their offense.


2) Carolina Panthers

Carolina has had a different quarterback lead their team in quarterback starts in each of their last five seasons. They have been Cam Newton, Kyle Allen, Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Darnold, and Baker Mayfield. Now that we know that Frank Reich is the new Carolina head coach, expect another quarterback.


1) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Now that we know Tom Brady has definitely retired, the Buccaneers now needs a quarterback. Will Derek Carr now go to central Florida?
