The Las Vegas Raiders made a massive decision on Wednesday, as head coach Josh McDaniels announced that the team was benching starting quarterback Derek Carr for the remainder of the year and inserting Jarrett Stidham in his place.
This move seems to suggest Carr may have played his last down for the Raiders. The Raiders’ longtime signal-caller was the main reason why Vegas landed star wideout Davante Adams this offseason, as the two played together during their time in college at Fresno State.
It makes you wonder if the team may try and move him and go full rebuild.
One big move being discussed is Adams being sent back to Green Bay.
“I would love to see davante adams back in green bay,” Alexis Kraft tweeted. “I could see the packers making that trade work with a package including a couple first rounders + romeo doubs (convienently, doubs played college ball in nevada… he might be interested in returning.”
“Part of the reason Davante Adams wanted the trade was for long-term stability at QB,” Matt Schneidman wrote. “Safe to say Derek Carr is done in Vegas. Aaron Rodgers might still be the Packers QB for 1-3 more years. Tough situation for Adams, no matter how you feel about him wanting out of GB.”

While Adams has caught 95 passes for 1,443 yards and a league-leading 14 touchdowns, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. In the last 25 targets with Carr behind center that have come his way, he has caught nine passes for 114 yards and zero touchdowns in his last three games.
Carr reportedly won’t even be in the building for the remainder of the season, as NFL Media reported that the quarterback will step away to avoid distractions.
It appears we have had a grand opening and closing of the QB-WR duo.
At 6-10, the Raiders are eliminated from playoff contention after their loss on Sunday.
