The Las Vegas Raiders are currently seeking to trade Derek Carr after benching him for the final two games of the season.
It’ll be interesting to see where he lands, as Carr has a no-trade clause. Now, the veteran quarterback pens a goodbye letter to Raiders Nation.
Derek Carr’s letter is emotional and heartfelt, as he clearly wanted to finish his career with this franchise. However, the front office has different plans in mind and is moving on. Even so, Carr thanks the fanbase for their support over the years and looks forward to his next adventure, wherever that may be.
