There are many suitors clearing space to try to jump Aaron Rodgers’ bones when he emerges from his hole, enlightened and ready to monopolize headlines. The Las Vegas Raiders are one such team rumored to be in the mix, and they just cut ties with QB Derek Carr.

He’s a capable starter that I firmly believe could consistently make the playoffs with an equally capable franchise. That’s about where it ends for him, but still, if you’ve been bereft of a QB for decades, he’s better than Zach Wilson or Sam Howell.

So with that in mind, here are the top five landing spots for Derek Carr.

Going 6-11 for the New York Jets

If any quarterback not named Aaron Rodgers starts for the Jets next year, it’ll be a disappointment. Carr was on a lot of “talented” Raiders teams, too, and they were all still mediocre.
