Interim head coach Jeff Saturday and the Indianapolis Colts have been linked to a recently benched starting quarterback.
Matt Ryan is not the only multi-time Pro Bowl quarterback who will finish the 2022 season on the bench.
On December 28, the Las Vegas Raiders announced that they plan to bench Derek Carr for the final two games of the regular season. Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels revealed that Jarrett Stidham will start the final two games with Chase Garbers serving as the team’s backup.
Carr will be inactive as the team’s No. 3 quarterback.
The writing’s on the wall that Carr may have played his final down for the Raiders. If that’s the case, the Indianapolis Colts become an interesting potential land spot for Carr.
Yup and could happen soon. Carr will get a head start on the rest of the FA QBs.

It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what’s gone wrong for Carr and the Raiders offense this season. But it’s been a big disappointment in 2022.
During the offseason, the Raiders traded for Carr’s former college teammate, wide receiver Davante Adams, and hired head coach Josh McDaniels. Both were expected to help Carr take the next big step.
Carr posted a career-high 4,804 passing yards with 23 touchdowns in a tumultuous 2021 season that saw his head coach, Jon Gruden, resign in embarrassing fashion, and his top young wideout, Henry Ruggs, released after crashing his car allegedly driving at a high speed while intoxicated.
