The QB carousel this year is just crazy. One can't keep up
Translation: "We have no f&#*ing idea what's going on, so let's throw some spaghetti at the wall and see if it sticks"
The Raiders have spent the years developing the guy and now as he approaches his prime, they want to move him? I see that as a bad move. Maybe if he had struggled with the change to a more vertical scheme, but he got better with the opportunity to throw down field more.
Honestly, Carr is the least of that team’s worries. They need help in a number of areas and Watson isn’t going to make up for those deficiencies. If I was the Texans, I’d fleece them for all they have and roll with Carr while making the many picks count.

Herbert also has big time potential (especially with a new coach who isn’t Lynn), and then you got Mahomes and now Watson rounding out the division.
Carr’s contract is up in 2022. If they re-sign him they’d be paying him big money to be the worst QB in the division for 4-5 more years. Not ideal. I can see where LV would be nervous about that scenario unfolding.
I just can't imagine Carr wanting to have anything to do with Houston after seeing how that Org. did with his brother.

That, plus I am doing the draft simulators multiple times a day and then their is night time :)

In ways this feels unlikely. But Gruden doesn't like players that he didn't acquire. They also have Mariota..

He could threaten to retire, that would throw cold water on any trade rumors.
It would be so much fun to have access to all of the phone calls between GMs right now. Nick here's my final offer...For DeShaun Watson, I'll send you 2021 and 2022 1st rounders, Kirk Cousins, Anthony Barr, Mike Hughes, Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox.... What say you?

Don't mess with Babe the blue Ox now.
