A trade of Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr reportedly may depend on his willingness to rework his contract.

Appearing Saturday on SportsCenter, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler said Carr's contract will be "key" in trade negotiations since $40.4 million in guaranteed money will trigger in Carr's contract on Feb. 15, and teams may prefer to spread that money out over multiple years.

Fowler noted that the Raiders will have to agree to trade compensation and then allow Carr and the other team to negotiate a reworked contract, but it is "uncertain" if Carr has any interest in doing so.
