I wish I was making this story up, but I’m not.
Derek Carr, starting quarterback of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders, has been one of the easy targets for criticism after the Raiders plunged to a 4-12 record this season, two years removed from a 12-4 mark and a playoff appearance. With the NFL Draft three months away, there is talk that Carr, who signed a 5-year, $125 million contract extension in the 2017 offseason, could be let go.
On ESPN’s First Take, hosted by Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman, there was a segment in which Kellerman opined (among other things) that Raiders head coach Jon Gruden is ready to move on from Carr and possibly look at drafting Oklahoma star Kyler Murray.
