If you were hoping for the Oakland Raiders to look elsewhere at quarterback in 2019, then I’ve got some bad news for you. Yesterday, Derek Carr’s salary for the 2019 season officially became guaranteed.
That’s $20 million for the season, so unfortunately for those who want Carr to be replaced right now, they’re going to have to wait. Regardless of his guarantees, Carr was going to be the quarterback in 2019.
The notion that he needed to be axed right now is simply an emotional take. People forget that Carr has an extraordinary stat tied to him.
