Why would they move on it.  Why trade when most knew he was going to be release....Duuuhh

The point is several teams have already interviewed Carr. The Panthers aren’t one of those teams. If we were remotely interested I feel like we would have bright him in for an interview minimum. It would be a huge cap hurdle to even sign him and our staff is clearly built to develop a QB.

In Dave’s defense, just about everyone in the media leading up to Carr’s release said that there was about zero chance that Carr would be traded A) because he didn’t want to take any draft capital from his next team B) he wanted to test the open market. The Saints probably did a Saints thing and kicked the wheels on Carr before his contract expired just in case or the Raiders just didn’t give a fug if he visited.

He also had a no trade clause so you can’t just trade for him.

I believe Schefter or Ian said that the Panthers had interest and would likely kick the tires on him “later” because it will be lengthy process. 
 

My guess is Reich wanted to get the rest of his Offensive Staff together, mainly Thomas Brown who was hired Friday. If the Panthers make a request for him to visit , it will be this upcoming week.

Meanwhile back in Raider Land...

This from the organization that a couple of our posters have been trying to convince me is making smart decisions 🤔

Carr had 9 years and they have looked bad 8 of the 9 years with him at QB.

 

Sorry but it's time they try something new. That team was going nowhere with Carr at QB.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
