The Las Vegas Raiders will begin the process of evaluating the trade market for quarterback Derek Carr, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
This points to the possibility of Carr leaving the organization after he was benched for the final two weeks of the regular season in favour of Jarrett Stidham.
Rapoport adds that Carr owns a no-trade clause and will be part of the process should a deal emerge.
The 31-year-old wrapped up his ninth season with the Raiders as they finished at 6-11 under new head coach Josh McDaniels to miss the playoffs for the fifth time in six seasons.
Carr led the team to a 6-9 record in games he started, throwing for 3,522 yards and 24 touchdowns compared to 14 interceptions. The year before he tossed 23 TDs with 14 picks as the Raiders finished 10-7 but were bounced in the Wild Card Round by the Cincinnati Bengals.
The brother of former NFL quarterback David Carr, Derek was selected in the second round (No. 36 overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft out of Fresno State.
