LAS VEGAS — Had the Raiders done an about-face at the end of last season and reached back out to Derek Carr to remain as their starting quarterback, Carr isn’t so sure he would have agreed to return.
As Carr told the Fresno Bee over the weekend, after the Raiders benched him over the last two games of the season, the emotions were so raw he might not have been in the right mental space to positively react to that olive branch.
Especially, as Carr put it, since the emotional toll extended to his family.
