The move was expected after Carr was benched with two games remaining this season because the Raiders would have owed him $40.4 million in guaranteed money over the next two years if he remained on the roster beyond Tuesday. By releasing Carr, the Raiders' salary dead cap hit will be $5.6 million next season.
Now Carr, who turns 32 on March 28, will see what he's worth on the open market, and there is little doubt there will be interest in the nine-year veteran given how many teams need to upgrade at quarterback. Over nine seasons with the Raiders, Carr became the team's career leader in passing yards and touchdown passes .
"I'm just looking for teams that have made that decision consistently that they'll do whatever it takes to put a winning program out there," Carr said Feb. 2."So for me, that's just to win, win a championship. That's at the forefront of the mind. It's not money."
Wow.
Well, good luck 👍 👏
