Derek Carr‘s future with the Las Vegas Raiders has become uncertain as the team’s coaching staff and front office have made it clear that he will not be returning for the next season. However, this presents a new opportunity for the veteran quarterback from Fresno State as he is expected to have a number of suitors.

According to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, as many as eight teams could be in the running for Carr. The NFC South, Jets, Commanders, Colts, and Texans are all reportedly in need of a new quarterback, making Carr a valuable asset.
