The Facts: The starting quarterback carousel is spinning this offseason at a rate not seen in years, but don't expect the Raiders to hop on. If GM Mike Mayock's comments to media members on Wednesday are any indication, Las Vegas doesn't intend to send its starting QB packing via trade, not after a career-best campaign. "I think Derek Carr had his best year yet, under Jon Gruden," Mayock told reporters. "I think he's one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL and we couldn't be happier with him. ... If you're asking me about Derek, I think Jon and I would both stand shoulder to shoulder and pound the table for Derek Carr."

Diehards Line:Carr's name has cropped in trade rumors annually around this time, ever since Gruden took the Raiders' coaching job in 2018, so talk of the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback potentially not being in Las Vegas' future plans isn't new to these parts. What is new is the name who could reportedly replace Carr if the Raiders intended to part ways with him: Russell Wilson, whose agent told ESPN last week that Las Vegas was a preferred landing spot if the Seattle Seahawks were to trade him. ... For what it's worth, Carr not only has the support of his bosses, the locker room has publicly thrown its support behind him in recent days as well. This week, Carr's fullback, Alec Ingold, said declaratively that Carr is "the guy," adding "I can't understand how anybody isn't ecstatic to have this guy as the quarterback." Earlier Wednesday, Carr's top target, Darren Waller said that he has "all the belief in the world in Derek Carr," who is "a guy that can take us everywhere we want to go. ..." And it looks like the QB will get a chance to prove it again this fall.
