Derek Carr's time as a member of the Las Vegas Raiders appears to be coming to an end, as the franchise is set to “begin the process” of evaluating Carr's trade market, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

As Rapoport notes, Carr has a no-trade clause in his contract, meaning he would need to be a part of the Raiders' process.

Ultimately, it seems like the franchise is warming up to the idea of a future without Derek Carr, who was benched in favor of Jarred Stidham after a particularly rough stretch that saw him fire nine interceptions in a five-game period.

Carr, who signed a three-year, $121.5 million contract with the Raiders in April of 2022, would have $40.4 million in salary become fully guaranteed on February 15.

Carr, 31, has made three Pro Bowls during his nine seasons with the Raiders, finishing third in the NFL MVP voting in 2016.

It will be interesting to see how the Derek Carr trade market plays out, given the fact that there are plenty of quarterback-needy teams in the league.

One thing is for sure.

Changes are coming in Las Vegas.
