With Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr being benched for the rest of the year and announcing he will be away from the team completely. It’s widely viewed around the league that Derek Carr will be available via trade, or he might be released. With a stacked free agent class of quarterbacks coming up this off season let’s go through my top three landing spots for who could and possibly should trade for Derek Carr.
New York Jets
The Jets make a lot of sense and are one of the teams linked to Derek Carr already, New York could make a big quarterback upgrade as they have one of the league’s best defenses and great offensive weapons that are young and cheap. Many view Derek Carr on this Jets roster as a possible playoff team and could potentially win a playoff game in a stacked AFC East division.
New York Giants
As the Giants are in a somewhat similar situation to the New York Jets, the Giants are probable to make the playoffs this season with a below average quarterback. The New York Giants have pieces on both sides of the ball that could help. With Carr on this roster he could win a lot of games. The Giants have a proven offensive head coach who looks like a guru on his side of the ball, Derek Carr could win a lot of games on a rebuilding Giants team that is in a terrible NFC conference, and a wobbly NFC east.
Indianapolis Colts
Another team that is widely linked to Derek Carr are the Indianapolis Colts, the Colts have a lot of great pieces on both sides of the ball with a great offensive and defensive line, the Colts are missing two of the biggest pieces on a championship team, as that is a head coach and a star quarterback. Even though the Colts don’t have a superstar wide receiver, they still have many good skill position pieces that are young in ascending, the Colts are also in a very wobbly division that could be up for grabs any year.
