Carr annoyed at rumors Raiders would draft QB

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Derek Carr said he was confident the Oakland Raiders would not draft a quarterback this offseason, but did admit the constant swirl of speculation got under his skin.

"Honestly, it got annoying after a while," Carr admitted Tuesday after the team's first OTA practice, in his first meeting with Bay Area media since the 2018 season finale. "I'm like, 'Really, they don't have nothing else to talk about?' And I didn't help the situation, trying to challenge people to fights."

Carr laughed, but he was not happy in January when he did, in fact, challenge ESPN First Take's Stephen A.
