Last Thursday during the Las Vegas Raiders' first preseason game, starting quarterback sat on the sidelines with a camouflage Raiders hat and an earpiece in and watched the entire game.
That’s nothing new for Carr, who hasn’t taken a snap in the preseason since 2019, and it’s a smart strategy seeing as he’s entering year nine in the league and is in no danger of losing his job. But that does beg the question of what Las Vegas’ signal caller has to gain during the games over the next month? Why even show up?
Head coach Josh McDaniels gave his thoughts on that question during his post-practice press conference on Friday.
