Some of the biggest NFL storylines over the next six months will be where quarterbacks will play and, in one case, whether they will play.
The call enraged Reid to the point that Chiefs quarterback [Patrick Mahomes](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/patrick-mahomes-WWwiw0IQD5ozgrHf/) said he couldn’t recall his coach reacting more angrily to an official’s call. [Miami](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/dolphins/) is a wild card with [Tua Tagovailoa](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/tua-tagovailoa-9TQu1PJeoFlq725G/)’s health concerns. “For a team that is just getting out of cap trouble, they would be wise to slow-play it, but it is really hard to slow-play two guys,” another exec said. The team would be betting on Daboll’s ability to get more from a cheaper free-agent quarterback (or a rookie) if Jones thought he could find a better situation elsewhere. “You just have to have the guts to not do it. [Minnesota](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/vikings/) for three years and $84 million in 2018. Then you have Kirk Cousins making $35 million, and he is going to be in the last year of his deal.” “It’s going to either scare Minnesota into doing another deal, like they did last year, or Kirk Cousins is finally going to fail in the business of football.” “That Garoppolo/Carr level of quarterback on the open market is going to be fascinating,” another exec said. The Packers might not trade Rodgers to an NFC contender such as [San Francisco](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/niners/) even if the 49ers were interested in absorbing the contractual ramifications. “I feel like he is just going to get tagged now and play on the tag. That extension does give the team all offseason to find a trading partner before a $58.3 million option bonus is due in Week 1.
Take a minute and think about the best players in NFL history. Players that may quickly come to mind are Reggie White, Lawrence Taylor, and Jim Brown.
History remembers the victor, and once a winning signal-caller arrives in Las Vegas, the Derek Carr era will be a figment of many people’s imaginations. When Derek Carr was benched for Jarrett Stidham for the final two weeks of the season, the first decision Derek made was to remove himself from the team that was still in the playoff hunt. Not only was he not a winner on the field, but his passive-aggressive antics sealed his fate. However, the final pass of his career is the taste he will leave in many people’s minds. Regardless of the turmoil between coaches, coordinators, terrible defenses, and abysmal drafting, the primary question is whether Derek Carr pulled his weight. Carr had a win/loss record of 63-79 as the Raiders starter throughout his nine-year stint with the organization.
Over the last two seasons, I can understand why Tennessee Titans fans would be frustrated with Ryan Tannehill at times. With Derrick Henry injured in 2021 and ...
Pass If you are frustrated with Ryan Tannehill I get it, but don’t make the mistake of thinking that he is a bad QB or that great QBs grow on trees. Once again, in news that shouldn’t shock you at this point, Tannehill outperformed Derek Carr. Luckily, the nice folks over at Stathead have already put in the legwork there too. This is all information that we have on the previous table, just condensed down into a per-game basis. Stathead actually does that work for everyone and gives a breakdown of what they did per game: On the other hand, Tannehill had to sit behind Marcus Mariota for the first half of his first season with the Tennessee Titans and then he walked into an offense centered around the running game. But, let’s say that the Tennessee Titans agree and that they think it is time to make a change at quarterback. Now, to be fair, A LOT of the Cincinnati Bengals loss was on his shoulders, no one denies that. The problem is, Tannehill is in a situation where he can’t really prove anyone wrong until he wins in the playoffs. There is a lot that goes into that from everyone else on the roster getting injured before he did, Over the last two seasons, I can understand why Tennessee Titans fans would be frustrated with Ryan Tannehill at times.
Every indication seems to be that Carr is hoping for his release, but Las Vegas Review-Journal insider Vinny Bonsignore offered a warning of sorts to Carr's ...
The best chance for the Raiders to pull off a trade involving Derek Carr might be the one that we mentioned a few weeks ago. Given what we know about Carr, he is probably going to prioritize a few things more than money when he looks for a new team.

"At this point, it’s pretty clear that Carr’s camp would like the freedom to seek a trade, and the Raiders don’t see what their benefit would be in doing that—since it’d just give Carr knowledge of what’ll be out there for him in mid-February if he just enacts his no-trade clause and forces the Raiders to cut him, thus making it harder for Las Vegas to trade him since Carr would have the power to rig the process," [According to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer](https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1622641520275750929), the Raiders are fearful that Carr would have the "knowledge" of what other teams would be willing to pay him.

Derek Carr’s career with the Las Vegas Raiders has been full of ups and downs.
