Raiders officially informed QB Derek Carr that he has been released, per source. Team released him before $40.4 million in his contract became guaranteed today. Carr is now a free agent and is expected to draw interest from the Saints and Panthers, amongst others.(Schefty)

  1. Getting absolutely nothing in return is an abject failure on our coach/GM. The cycle continues of this franchise getting fleeced.

  2. Once a Raider, always a Raider. Thanks for the ride, Derek. Good luck with your next team.

  3. A majority of my fandom where Carr years. It’s gonna be weird but for the best. Wish the dude luck!

  4. Wish him the best. It can be true both that he failed to elevate the team and that the organization failed to put a good team around him. Failure all around.

  5. I wish him the best and I wish our front office the best in navigating this offseason and fielding a competitive football team.

  6. So, now that it’s official that DC is no longer plays for LVR, we should stop seeing posts about him, right?

    Like, we shouldn’t see complaints or anti-Carr posts from current and past seasons? The “haters,” Twitter finger trolls, “I don’t like Carr for his religion” crew, internet tough guys 💪😎, “Carr hurt me and the team” crew, and “real Raider fans” shouldn’t post anything about him (in the sub), right?

    Also, no posts from “Stans,” “DC is scapegoat,” “we did him dirty,” “we deserve this,” “my QB1,” and “we failed Carr” crew shouldn’t post either?

    We should all just take our own advice: “move on… let it go…. it’s over…. He not a Raider anymore…” and not care about what he does, right?

    If not, you’re acting as such: “rent free,” “…DC cock in your mouth..,” “..cry more,” and other insults.

    I mean, we’re all acting like mature adults and going accept that this was a business decision and it’s just football, right?

  7. Dude bled silver and black for the past 9 seasons. I didn’t want it to end on such an ugly note, but wish him the best. Time to move on and find our new QB

  8. Well, at least you can probably say he was the best QB of his draft – Jimmy G & Teddy B the only other ones worth mentioning.

  9. Sorry Raiders bro. Feels like the FO did him dirty. He’s a top 12 QB as evidenced by how well he performed with Renfrow as his WR1. Can’t believe the org picked doodoo McDaniels over him.

  10. The Carr debate is settled and now clears the way for peaceful losing with no fans in attendance.

    Enjoy.

  11. Thank god, I hope he works out a deal soon so his jock riders can mosey on along to that team’s sub.

  12. Some of you need to get over the fact that people are fans of his. He’s an upstanding guy with a level head on his shoulders and a good understanding of the fundamentals of the position. In addition, he’s the brightest spot in the past 20 years of this franchise. Many people (like me) who got into football when he was first drafted will follow his career and cheer him on as an individual.

    I, for one, am not looking forward to the potential QB carousel we may go through for years to come. Carr brought a level of consistency and hope that we otherwise wouldn’t have had

  13. I haven’t been a fan of DC since 2016. For a guy who grew up with his brother the #1 pick, he made so many head scratching decisions. Fumbles, fumbling out of the end zone, taking bad sacks, throwing bad picks, eyeing down checkdowns and getting receivers blown up. We had a qb for nine years and never really competed for the division. He’s the best we had since Gannon but that’s not much competition.

    He always seemed like a genuine guy and I have no complaints about how he carried himself. But this is a results league and he finished his raider career with a record below .500. I’m ready to suffer again if needed but we are due for a legit qb.

  14. How Carson wentz was traded for picks twice after shit seasons, and we weren’t able to get anything, is truly astounding. Management sucks. Hopefully they can try turning it around this year

  15. Thank you for all he gave to us. Can’t wait to see him ball out on his new team next year. I think the timing was best. Everyone needed a new start, but no hard feelings. Hope to see him get a ring.

  16. Where’s that loser who made that post about a week ago laughing at everyone who said he would be cut for no value??? Dumbass.

  17. This Carr contract situation really showed me that a lot of you guys don’t know how to read. This was always the most likely scenario

  18. Jeff Hostetler still has more playoff wins in 3 seasons with the silver and black. Good riddance. Time for a fresh start.

  19. Loved watching him play for Fresno State and I thought we were lucky to have him as a Raider for so long. This isn’t the way I wanted it to end but here we are. Best of luck DC.
