ALAMEDA — Derek Carr is under siege, and not just when he drops back to pass.
With the Raiders having already traded away former cornerstone players Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper, there is speculation that the Raiders’ franchise quarterback could be next.
Add to that a column in the subscription site “The Athletic” describing “a fractured relationship with his teammates,” which included a “loss of confidence in their on-field leader.”
Carr, who did not speak to reporters Monday after Cooper was traded, gave his answer Tuesday morning on Twitter:
I’m a Raider. It’s not a “popular” thing to be a Raider right now, but I am and I love it.
