Analysis: Derek Carr bids farewell to the Raiders. Where might he land?
As with the Colts and Commanders, the Panthers have been cycling through some veteran quarterbacks of late and might see Carr as a way to finally land someone with staying power. Carolina also needs a permanent head coach, after firing Matt Rhule and ending the season with Steve Wilks at the helm, and if it gets an early commitment from Carr, he might get some input on that decision.
Of course, if the Raiders were right and Carr — who posted some of the worst numbers of his career this season — was indeed worthy of benching, then his courtship by other teams will have been much ado about nothing. McDaniels created a 2009 firestorm in Denver by running Jay Cutler out of town, but that move didn’t exactly come back to haunt the then-Broncos coach.
It’s worth keeping in mind, though, that for all of his years in the NFL, Carr is still just 31. He should have some effective, if not all-world, seasons in front of him. One can certainly imagine an NFL team convincing itself of that, and acting accordingly. As for which team, given his contract clauses, we shouldn’t have to wait very long after the Super Bowl to find out.
