This NFL offseason features a number of teams currently trying to figure out their quarterback situation. For most of the offseason, many of these teams have been linked with attempts to land players like Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson. However, there is another quarterback who seems to be getting a lot of interest from around the NFL.
According to the Las Vegas Review Journal’s Vincent Bonsignore, there are multiple teams around the league expressing interest in Derek Carr.
FYI: As teams continue to look for QB’s, multiple teams have expressed interest in @Raiders QB Derek Carr. Not a surprise at all, it’s that time of year. Expect the interest to continue to heat up as long as Carr’s contract situation remains as is.

Carr is heading into the last year of his contract with the Raiders, so they are at the point where the only two options that would seem to make sense for the team would be a contract extension or a trade.
Given the reports on the Washington Commanders this week, it’s probably safe to assume that they are one of the teams that is interested in Carr. However, there are a bunch of options for who else could be interested in Carr right now.
The Denver Broncos need a QB, but the Raiders definitely wouldn’t trade Carr inside their division. The Steelers have to be interested. The Colts are probably looking at Carr as they consider moving on from Carson Wentz. The Carolina Panthers badly need to fix their quarterback situation. Even the Saints could be showing interest as they try to avoid starting Taysom Hill.
It seems unlikely that the Raiders will be too interested in trading Carr right now, but if they decide that’s what’s best for the organization, they’ll have plenty of suitors for the QB.
