Quarterback Derek Carr, recently released by the Las Vegas Raiders, is apparently facing a long free agency. That’s according to his brother David, who also spoke out about Derek’s visit to the New York Jets

At least that’s what his brother David claims, who is currently becoming more and more of a mouthpiece for Derek.

“It’s going to be a long process and he’s going to do his due diligence in finding a team,” David told “NFL Network.” He also made special mention of the trip to the New York Jets and New Orleans Saints, to whom the ex-Raider paid a visit.

Carr’s visit to the Jets was “great “

“The trip to the Jets was great, but it’s going to be a long process. He only has the Saints, Raiders and the Jets to compare those three teams,” David said, adding that Derek wants to visit as many other teams as possible to get a feel for which would be best for him.

Nevertheless, the visit to the Jets apparently left a good impression. According to David, Derek got on particularly well with Head Coach Robert Saleh. “We knew he would love Robert. I’ve known him for a long time, he’s fantastic. They hit it off right away and would love to work together. “

Jets willing to pay “a lot of money “

In addition, David – who was an NFL quarterback himself – noted that Derek has a history with the Jets’ new quarterbacks coach. Todd Downing worked as an assistant with the Raiders during Carr’s first three Pro Bowl seasons, from 2015 to 2017.

There’s also interest in the veteran on the Jets’ side. Owner Woody Johnson recently said the quarterback was the “missing piece” and that he would “definitely” pay big money to acquire a “veteran”.

In the past season, young Zach Wilson played the playmaker position. However, he has not yet been able to convince in New York.
