The Las Vegas Raiders have officially decided to bench Derek Carr for the first time in his nine years as a starter. With just two games left, Jarrett Stidham will be the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season. Unless he lights up the field, the team will likely have plans to make a change at quarterback this offseason.
There’s always the possibility that Carr will return as the starter next season but that seems like a pipe dream. The Raiders almost certainly benched the quarterback so that they don’t risk injury to him, which would lead to his contract becoming guaranteed. The coming months will be filled with speculation about who the next quarterback will be in Las Vegas. Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo are the logical options as they are both free agents and have ties to head coach Josh McDaniels.
However, the Raiders could look to the trade market to add a different quarterback familiar with the coach’s offense. Moe Moton of Bleacher Report and Silver & Black Today floated the idea of the team trading for New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones.
