Las Vegas Raiders have officially released Derek Carr from their roster, as the franchise part ways with their quarterback after nine seasons.
Carr discovered towards the end of the 2022 NFL season that his time with the Raiders was up, and they were set to rebuild with a new quarterback. Carr addressed the Raiders Nation in an emotional post on social media, and was upset that he wasn't given one final chance at saying farewell.
The Raiders were hoping to negotiate a trade deal for Carr, picking up important draft picks in exchange for their franchise quarterback. However, Carr informed interested parties that he would not trade to any team, and instead pursue his options as a free agent.
