The thing about getting a guy like Carr is that ideally it allows you to spend a couple of years looking for your future franchise quarterback.

Maybe a year or two down the road, you have more holes in the roster filled and you're in a better position to use draft capital to trade up for that guy you want.

If you don't like the choices in this year's draft or you don't think the choices you like are within reach, it's a reasonable idea.

Carr would be a MUCH better contract for us that TB5.  Nothing in there guaranteed assuming he comes over in trade.

If he comes here and lights it up, you've found a guy who can give you another 5-7 years.  Plenty of time for a SB run.  If he is terrible, you can cut him easily.

I was listening to the Lombardi podcast from a few days ago and apparently the sense around league circles is that the Raiders would be interested in moving Derek Carr and rolling with the cheaper option in Mariota.

After seeing what Stafford returned they could be even more interested in trading him. What do you think he’d be worth? Honestly I’m not a big fan and his contract is still pretty large. He’d be an upgrade so I figured it would at least be worthy dialogue.

I dunno man, check out the Chiefs game below.  Carr took his team down to take the lead with less than two minutes to go and the Raiders couldn't hang on.  He was definitely looking downfield first the whole game.  I know, it's just one game, but it's pretty representative.

 

 

He drove the Rai-duhs down for what appeared to be the winning score against the Dolphins with :19 left.  Then their defense gave the game away allowing an enormous completion with a defender hanging onto Fitzpatrick's face mask in the process. 

Can't fault Carr because his defense can't hold a lead.

Seems this was a well timed thread.

Lombardi also said today that he doesn't think Watson is going anywhere. Sounds like the Texans are totally prepared to just let him sit if that's what it comes too and get into some sort of tug of war match. If this is true, will the Raiders still want to move Carr? IF they think they can get Watson, I could see us having a great chance to land Carr since we could offer them the highest pick which they could in turn flip to Houston.

If Stafford got a first I really think Carr will too. Stafford is better, but Carr is younger by a couple of years. This has Washington written all over it though. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Surrender 8 for Carr or give up at least one future first for Wilson/Fields/Lance? I think I prefer the latter, but wouldn't complain if they went with the former.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
