Beyond using his Pro Bowl interviews to get some self-deprecating jokes off, Derek Carr also sent a message that the Raiders seemed to answer on Friday. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Las Vegas has granted Carr permission to speak with potential trade partners, as long as they're willing to compensate his former team.
, maintaining that he and his representatives were hoping to speak with interested teams but had not been granted permission from Las Vegas.
"That's for [the Raiders] to talk about," he said when ESPN asked about the team's refusal to allow conversations."I'm just obeying the rules. If it gets to the date [and I get released], then I'll be able to talk to all my friends." In that same conversation, he added that he has no intention of extending the looming Feb. 15 trigger date on his contract which makes it more likely that he’ll be released. With $40.4 million of his contract set to become fully guaranteed on that date, he realizes that it’s not in his best interest to give the Raiders more time to find a resolution.Carr's no-trade clause is what's taking away the team's leverage.
In 15 games this season, Carr posted 3,522 passing yards, a 60.8% completion rate, 24 passing touchdowns, 14 interceptions and 7 yards per pass attempt.
