According to ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, Raiders general manager Dave Ziegler could release Carr ahead of the Pro Bowl game.Fowler said:&quot;A league exec openly wondered this week whether the Raiders would cut Derek Carr before he participates in the Pro Bowl flag football game Sunday since an injury there could trigger his $40.4 million guarantee early.&quot;With all of the news swirling regarding his future, the former Fresno State star joked about it at the Pro Bowl Games.Derek Carr takes a shot at the Raiders about his futureDerek Carr won the precision passing event at the Pro Bowl Games, but that wasn't the takeaway. He was interviewed by Ryan Clark of ESPN, who asked him if he had ever been that hot in Las Vegas. The veteran quarterback's response took a jab at the Raiders.Carr said:&quot;Not that hot. That's probably why I'm going somewhere else.&quot;The former second-round pick is the Las Vegas Raiders' all-time leader in passing yards (35,222 yards) and touchdowns (217 touchdowns). The deadline is less than two weeks away, and the quarterback has commented that the deadline will not be extended. The New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are two of the teams in the market for a quarterback this offseason.We'll see where Carr lands in his 10th season as his future becomes clearer.If you use any of the above quotes, please credit CBS Sports and H/T Sportskeeda.
