Derek Carr signaled his impending departure from the Las Vegas Raiders this week, an outcome that seemed a foregone conclusion when he was benched for the final two games of the 2022 season.<\/p>\n
“I once said that if I’m not a Raider I would rather be at home and I meant that, but I never envisioned it ending this way,” he wrote on Instagram as part of a goodbye post to Oakland, Las Vegas and Silver and Black fans.<\/p>\n
“That fire burning inside of me to win a championship still rages. A fire no man can extinguish; only God. So I look forward to a new city and a new team who, no matter the circumstance, will get everything I have. Winning a championship is what I’ve always wanted and what I will continue to work towards.”<\/p>\n\n
Carr’s brother, former NFL quarterback David Carr, had previously telegraphed Derek Carr’s intention to play elsewhere while taking a shot at the Raiders’ new regime, which includes head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler.<\/p>\n

It was the Raiders that changed. So, when I go forward with Derek, that conversation about him being retired a Raider is no longer an option. He’s playing football again.
