Derek Carr Won't Extend Contract Trigger Date
2 years agoLas Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said on Thursday that he has no intention of extending the Feb. 15 trigger date on his contract to give the Raiders additional time to resolve his situation. On Feb. 15, more than $40 million in guarantees kick in for Carr, increasing the likelihood that he'll be released instead of traded. The Raiders have yet to authorize Carr and his agent to speak to potential trade partners. Carr has a no-trade clause in his contract and said he would use it if necessary. The Raiders benched the 31-year-old for the final two games of the 2022 season and Carr has already said his goodbyes on social media to the fan base. Plenty of teams will be searching for a veteran QB this offseason, so he should be in high demand if he becomes a free agent on Feb. 15.
