Reports: Carr tells Raiders he won't be traded
Derek Carr informed the Raiders he will not accept a trade to any team, including the New Orleans Saints, multiple sources reported.
As a result, the Raiders are expected to release Carr ahead of Wednesday’s deadline, at which a $40.5 million roster bonus becomes guaranteed.
The Saints were the only team to express interest in a trade for Carr, but they wanted him to renegotiate his contract to a lower number, reports said.
Upon being released, Carr will become a free agent able to negotiate a new deal with the team of his choosing.
The Raiders signed Carr to a three-year contract extension last offseason, but it was essentially a one-year evaluation deal in which new coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler could get a handle on whether Carr would be their long-term quarterback.
Now the Raiders will exercise the out-clause they insisted upon that allows them to walk away from Carr ahead of the extension going into effect in 2023.
Carr was benched for the final two NFL games of the 2022 NFL season.
With the impending release of Carr, who’s been the quarterback for the past nine seasons, the Raiders will look for a new quarterback for the 2023 season.

“When someone delivers a run like Odermatt did today, then it’s just hats off and just respect it,” Kilde said.
Watched by 13,000 spectators, lots of them waving Swiss flags, ringing cow bells, and blowing air horns, Odermatt ended his four-year wait for a world championship medal in impressive style and let out a few screams after posting the fastest time.
“It was definitely something I’d never felt before, this scream at the finish,” said Odermatt. “Also, those two minutes during Alex’s run, I was shaking all over my body like never before.”
Odermatt had not won a medal in eight previous starts at senior world championships, after winning five golds at the 2018 junior worlds.
He had also never won a top-level downhill before, though he has been runnerup in seven World Cup races.
