The next two weeks could be Derek Carr's final games as a member of the Las Vegas Raiders.

Even though the Raiders seemed as if they made a commitment to Carr in April by giving him a three-year, $121.5 million extension, it was structured in such a way that makes it easy for the team to move on after this season.

Per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Carr is "under pressure to show the Raiders something" in the next two weeks because his deal doesn't have any guaranteed money remaining after this season.

Per Spotrac, the Raiders' dead-cap number for 2023 is only $5.
