When Tom Brady announced his decision to leave the New England Patriots, a number of teams were in the mix. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders were the four teams mainly mentioned, before he eventually chose the former.
It was later stated by UFC president Dana White, that a deal was in the works for both Brady and Rob Gronkowski to join the team, before the Raiders chose to stick with current quarterback Derek Carr. Brady went on to make statements that he came close to joining another team, but stated that he was told that they would be sticking with their current quarterback.
Now, Derek Carr has almost certainly played his last snaps as the quarterback with the Raiders, after they have benched him so that he does not pick up an injury which would see his contract to become guaranteed, with the expectation that he will be released this summer.
