I don’t believe it.
I am sorry, I am just not buying it.
Derek Carr is solid, but not two first-round picks solid, if someone offered that to the Raiders they should say YES before the team finished their sentence and roll with Marcus Mariota.
Here are the details via Larry Brown Sports.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Vincent Bonsignore says that the Raiders are expected to receive inquiries from other teams interested in Carr’s availability in a trade. Bonsignore threw out a wild scenario in which the Raiders receive two first-round picks in return for Carr. The Raiders would then package those picks, plus two first-round picks of their own, to the Houston Texans for Watson.
Carr has two years remaining on his deal for no more than a $22.125 million cap hit in either year.
It isn’t happening.
If it happens I will tell Mr. Bonsignore I am sorry.
