Derek Carr was put in a situation that no player would like to find themselves in. The Raiders’ decision to bench Carr was not well-met by the QB. The franchise’s inclination to move forward without Carr at the helm was quite obvious. But family, as they say, is ‘always and forever’, and that is exactly what the QB’s brother did for him.
The QB consequently confirmed that he would be stepping away from the team. Most recently, his brother, former Giants quarterback David Carr dropped a very important update. Here’s the latest news on the QB’s future.

While Derek Carr’s future hangs in the balance, his brother acknowledged that the situation was a sticky one. He said, “It’s my brother and he’s going to go find another job. He’s going to try and play quarterback in the NFL again, with another team. Right now it’s a little touchy. There’s some things going on. They’re trying to work a trade,” David Carr’s optimism for his younger brother is admirable but will the former Raiders QB find a team willing to take him in?
David Carr’s defense of his brother is understandable, after all, they’re family. But Derek Carr isn’t exactly what one would classify as a top-tier quarterback. After a not-so-positive season, the Raiders would want to explore their options and find someone who will give them results on the field. And with speculation of Tom Brady heading to the Raiders, fans obviously had to have a say with regard to the older Carr’s statements.
Fans are unimpressed by Carr’s irreverent monologue
David Carr followed up his update on the Raiders and mentioned Brady as the Raiders’ next QB while also taking shots at Raiders owner Mark Davis. Fans were unimpressed by his statements. One user did not hold back from saying.
David Carr is SALTY……. Be honest David Carr. If you weren’t on the TV show’s, your brother would have been in the hot seat many years ago. Derek Carr equivalent to Andy Dalton.
