Raiders Trolled by Fans After Swapping Derek Carr for Jimmy Garoppolo in Free Agency

Almost one month to the day that Derek Carr was released by the Las Vegas Raiders, they have brought in his replacement by agreeing to a deal with Jimmy Garoppolo.

Per ESPN's Dianna Russini and Adam Schefter, Garoppolo will sign a three-year, $67.5 million deal with $34 million guaranteed to join the Raiders.

Carr was released on Feb. 14 after he declined to waive his no-trade clause and accept a deal with the New Orleans Saints. The Raiders were facing a Feb. 15 deadline to trade or release the 31-year-old before $40 million in his contract became guaranteed.
