Free agent quarterback Derek Carr will visit with the New York Jets, sources told ESPN. Carr was released by the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday after the veteran quarterback declined to waive his no-trade clause and just before more than $40 million of his contract would have become guaranteed.
Carr, who turns 32 in March, holds virtually every Raiders passing record. He has passed for more than 4,000 yards in four of the past five seasons.
Carr went 63-79 as the team's starter since being selected in the second round of the 2014 draft out of Fresno State. Until his benching near the end of this season, Carr had started 91 straight games and has 142 starts since entering the NFL in 2014, tied with Tom Brady for the most by a quarterback in that span.
For the Jets, adding Carr would be a departure from the team's recent history of attempting to find a franchise quarterback through the draft.
