Oakland Raiders news, rumors and injuriesRaiders | Derek Carr fully guaranteed $40 million Thu, 22 Jun 2017 08:53:27 -0700 Updating earlier reports, Oakland Raiders QB Derek Carr is fully guaranteed $40 million and has more than $70 million in total guarantees. He's under contract through 2022. Fantasy Tip: Carr is on the rise and is a player with upside if you miss out on the first few QBs in your fantasy draft. Comment () | Share: Raiders | Derek Carr agrees to extension Thu, 22 Jun 2017 07:22:07 -0700 Updating an earlier report, Oakland Raiders QB Derek Carr agreed to a five-year, $125 million extension Thursday, June 22, according to sources. Fantasy Tip: The deal makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history from an annual perspective. Carr has had two really good years in a row. At 26, with a good supporting cast around him, he looks poised to take the next step. However, he's not in the cream of the crop in fantasy yet. When the top signal-callers come off the board, Carr is an excellent fallback. Comment () | Share: Raiders | Derek Carr deal near completion Thu, 22 Jun 2017 05:29:46 -0700 Updating previous reports, Oakland Raiders QB Derek Carr has a deal in place with the Raiders, and only language remains. It could be finalized this week. Carr could choose to backload the deal because there is no state tax in Nevada and California's tax rate is 13.3 percent. Doing so would save him millions. Fantasy Tip: Carr has about as much hype as anyone in fantasy circles, and he was great last season before his leg injury. However, it's premature to put him in the elite QB1 category. He's a nice consolation if you miss out on the first three or four. Comment () | Share: Raiders | Derek Carr close to extension Wed, 21 Jun 2017 12:01:55 -0700 Oakland Raiders QB Derek Carr is close to agreeing on a contract extension that is expected to pay him around $25 million per season, according to sources. The deal could be announced as early as the end of this week. Fantasy Tip: Carr recorded 3,937 yards and 28 touchdowns in 2016 before he suffered a season-ending leg injury and has thrown for 81 touchdowns in his three years in the NFL. He should be ready for training camp and will have plenty of pass catchers to work with in the passing game. He should be considered a No. 1 quarterback in most fantasy leagues. Comment () | Share: Raiders | EJ Manuel eyeing backup role Fri, 16 Jun 2017 18:50:42 -0700 Oakland Raiders QB EJ Manuel has been receiving second-team reps ahead of QB Connor Cook. Comment () | Share: Raiders | Cordarrelle Patterson making plays at WR Thu, 15 Jun 2017 23:32:14 -0700 Oakland Raiders WR Cordarrelle Patterson has been a "revelation" as a receiver thus far, according to ESPN's Paul Gutierrez, who indicated Patterson has displayed his playmaking ability throughout OTAs and minicamp. Fantasy Tip: Patterson is arguably the top kick returner in the NFL, but that explosiveness never translated on offense with the Vikings. If the light finally comes on for the former first-rounder, opportunities could abound with nobody locked in at receiver beyond Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree. Keep an eye on him this preseason. Comment () | Share: Raiders | Austin Howard not cleared yet Wed, 14 Jun 2017 16:55:26 -0700 Oakland Raiders OT Austin Howard (shoulder) has not been cleared to practice at this point and his status for the start of training camp is uncertain. Comment () | Share: Raiders | Sean Smith feeling healthy Mon, 12 Jun 2017 11:10:03 -0700 Oakland Raiders CB Sean Smith (shoulder) finally feels healthy again after undergoing surgery for a torn labrum suffered last season. Smith said he has put last season behind him and that he is going to have fun moving forward. Comment () | Share: Raiders | Derek Carr could receive big extension Fri, 09 Jun 2017 15:06:06 -0700 Oakland Raiders QB Derek Carr has a chance to receive $25 million per season in a contract extension, in the opinion of NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Fantasy Tip: Carr is looking to sign an extension before the start of training camp, so owners will need to keep an eye on the situation over the next few weeks. Carr was one of the better quarterbacks in 2016 before he suffered his injury and will have a solid group of pass catchers again this season. Carr should be considered a No. 1 quarterback in all leagues. Comment () | Share: Raiders | Jon Feliciano to undergo MRI Wed, 07 Jun 2017 15:43:18 -0700 Oakland Raiders C Jon Feliciano (knee) suffered a knee injury during practice Tuesday, June 7, and was scheduled to undergo an MRI Tuesday, according to a source. Comment () | Share: Raiders | Jared Cook a matchup problem Fri, 02 Jun 2017 19:44:54 -0700 Oakland Raiders TE Jared Cook will be a matchup problem over the middle and help create space for the rest of the offensive playmakers, according to quarterbacks coach Todd Downing. "He's a matchup nightmare for linebackers and most safeties," Downing said. "He really brings a sense in the passing game of a mismatch that we can count on week in and week out." Fantasy Tip: There is no denying that Cook has the physical tools to be a weapon in the passing game, but consistent production has eluded him throughout his career. Consider him a high-upside TE2. Comment () | Share: Raiders | Derek Carr would play sans extension Tue, 30 May 2017 14:29:56 -0700 Oakland Raiders QB Derek Carr said he will play out the 2016 season even if a contract extension is not agreed upon before the start of the season. Carr added that he doesn't want the extension to be a distraction this year. The quarterback's hope is that an extension will be done by training camp. Fantasy Tip: Despite not yet finishing as a QB1 in his young career, Carr should be in the QB1 conversation. He throws behind one of the better offensive lines in the game, has Marshawn Lynch to provide a respectable running game and throws to arguably the best receiving duo in the NFL in Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree. View Carr as a low-end QB1 heading into 2017.
