Report reveals how Raiders are handling Derek Carr trade
There has been a lack of clarity regarding how the Las Vegas Raiders are handling an inevitable trade of quarterback Derek Carr. It turns out their stance is somewhat nuanced but sensible.
Previous reports had indicated that the Raiders had yet to grant Carr or his agent permission to speak to other teams about a potential trade. This seemed detrimental to getting a deal done, as Carr’s contract may require interested teams to negotiate some adjustments, not to mention the quarterback’s full no-trade clause.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter clarified the situation on Friday. The Raiders have granted Carr permission to speak to teams once they agree on compensation with the Raiders.
