After Kaepernick workout: Josh McDaniels reassures Derek Carr

Derek Carr doesn’t have to worry about his starting job with the Las Vegas Raiders. That’s what Josh McDaniels, after Colin Kaepernick’s workout, told a news conference.

Munich – Josh McDaniels, head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, has reassured his quarterback Derek Carr. He said that despite Colin Kaepernick’s workout, he doesn’t have to worry about his starting job: “I think Derek is pretty happy. I think he knows who he is to us and he knows how I feel about him, how we feel about him. I don’t think it’s a big thing for Derek. “

Is Colin Kaepernick taking a seat on the Raiders bench?

Colin Kaepernick completed his first official workout since 2017 this week, when the Seattle Seahawks opted against signing him over concerns that the now 34-year-old’s popularity would cost Russell Wilson backs within the team.

It is still unclear whether the Raiders will offer Kaepernick a contract. If “Kaep” were to don the Raiders jersey next season, he would more likely end up on the bench. McDaniels confirmed that the team belongs to Carr: “I think he knows it’s his football team. He works on the field and runs it the way we want him to. He’s doing everything right. “

The Las Vegas Raiders currently have four quarterbacks on the team. In addition to Carr, who he signed to a three-year, $121.5 million contract extension this offseason, Jarrett Stidham (traded from the New England Patriots in the offseason), Nick Mullens and rookie Chase Garbers are under contract with the franchise. One of the latter would probably have to make room if Kaepernick were to sign.
