With the Raiders and quarterback Derek Carr headed toward a breakup, the question becomes, how will their relationship end?
There are two ways it will go down. The first and potentially more favorable one for Carr and the Raiders is a trade.
In that scenario, the Raiders get something for Carr, and he’s assured that the three-year, $121 million contract extension he signed in April remains intact. But they must agree to terms on a deal before a Feb. 15 deadline, when a $40.5 million roster guarantee kicks in for Carr.
