The Las Vegas Raiders finished with a 6-11 record and in third place in the AFC West. The
Raiders are expected to look for a new quarterback for the future as Derek Carr has fallen out of favor with the team. Expectations were high in the preseason, but due to his performance, Carr was benched at the end of the year, even when the Raiders still had playoff hopes.
A trade isn't necessarily imminent, as Carr does hold a no-trade clause and would need to approve any potential deal. There is also a deadline by which the deal would likely be done. On February 15, the remaining $40.4 million over the remaining two years of Carr's contract would become fully guaranteed, per Ian Rapoport. It seems that Carr expects to be donning a new jersey next season as he bid farewell to the Raiders and their fans on Twitter on Thursday morning.
The Indianapolis Colts have the best odds at DraftKings Sportsbook of acquiring Carr installed at +400. He would become their sixth new starting quarterback for Week 1 in as many seasons if that were to happen. The New York Jets (+400), Tennessee Titans (+600), Washington Commanders (+900) and New England Patriots (+950) round out the teams with the top-five odds to trade for Carr.
It seemed like Carr was in line for a solid season in 2022 after Las Vegas acquired his former college teammate Davante Adams from the Green Bay Packers. Adams had his usual productive season as the quarterback fed his best wideout. Unfortunately, it didn't always translate to wins, and it feels like Carr may end up being the fall guy for the performance of the overall team.
Carr finished the season playing in 15 games and completing 60.8% of his passes. He threw for 3,522 yards with 24 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Unless his new team re-works his contract, Carr will be under contract through the 2025 season. He has played all nine seasons of his career with the Raiders to this point, but he could benefit from a fresh start. It remains to be seen what kind of trade package Las Vegas is looking for in return for Carr.
