If Derek Carr is being traded out of Las Vegas, there is one widely popular city he won’t be headed to.
On Thursday, Derek Carr to ok to social media and thanked the organization and the fans, adding that he looks forward to playing with a new team in a new city.
“Raider Nation it breaks my heart I didn’t get an opportunity to say goodbye in person,” Carr wrote. “We certainly have been on a roller coaster in our 9 years together. From the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful and appreciative of the years of support you gave to my family and me.”
“It’s especially hard to say goodbye because I can honestly say that I gave you everything I had, every single day, in season, and in the off season,” he continued. “It certainly wasn’t perfect, but I hope I was able to leave you with more than a few great memories as Raiders fans.”
According to Colts insider Zak Keefer of The Athletic, the Indianapolis Colts will not be a team that will be looking to add Carr to their roster. The Colts have been known to take on aging quarterbacks since Andrew Luck suddenly retired from the league years ago. The team is also searching for a new head coach.
In the past few years, the team has taken on Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz, and Matt Ryan.
It appears that Carr will not be added to this list.

Carr’s future in Las Vegas has been up in the air since the three-time Pro Bowler was benched for the final two games of the regular season.
It should be noted that his $40.4 million salary over the next two seasons becomes guaranteed on Feb. 15 if he is still with the organization. The team will likely cut him from the roster so he will be free to sign anywhere.
Carr struggled in his first year under head coach Josh McDaniels, throwing 14 interceptions while completing 60.8% of his passes.
The team went 6-11 and missed the playoffs after making the postseason in 2021.
