With the offseason in full swing, the team is already making progress. But their first move was with Derek Carr, as the Black and Silver front granted the quarterback’s wish. It opened a new forum among NFL fans.

NFL fans buzzing over a probable location for Derek Carr

The Las Vegas Raiders officially released Derek Carr on Tuesday. The reports are coming just a day after Insider Dov Kleiman dropped the bombshell ahead of the official day. The QB1 got cut before his $40.4 million salary became guaranteed. Since Carr refused a trade, the Raiders had no option other than to cut the four-time Pro Bowl quarterback off the roster.

Amidst speculations, which teams would be an ideal choice for Derek Carr?

Does these locations make sense for the quarterback?

With Las Vegas cutting Derek Carr, several QB-hungry teams would be vying for his services. As per NFL.com, four teams make the most sense for the free-agent quarterback. One of them is the New York Jets, who are hunting for a veteran quarterback. While the New Orleans Saints trade did not materialize, Carr may not miss out on joining them.

After the Jets and the Saints, the Carolina Panthers also make sense. The franchise had Baker Mayfield, but his magic failed too. The Tennessee Titans also make sense as they could use some seasoned aid on the QBs division.

The recently released QB1 has ample time to decide. It is yet to see what would materialize.
