The Las Vegas Raiders’ Josh McDaniels got a quarterback he’s been interested in coaching for a while. McDaniels and Raiders GM Dave Ziegler are planning to set up quarterback Derek Carr with a hefty contract extension, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. - McDaniels and Ziegler are, in part, comfortable with Carr because they’ve had their eyes on him. The New England Patriots considered trading for Carr before the 2021 season, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. - “Sources say Carr’s top choice for a new coach was actually the one the team hired (McDaniels),” Rapoport wrote in a recent report on Sunday. “In the past, McDaniels’ and Ziegler’s affection for the three-time Pro Bowler led them to consider trading for him.” - Imagine that. - New England might have traded for Carr, rather than re-signing quarterback Cam Newton for a second season. The Patriots then might not have had a first-round pick to select Mac Jones — or they would have felt more comfortable using the pick to take a different player in the draft. It would have sent New England’s trajectory in a totally different direction. - - List - - Ranking all of Tom Brady's Super Bowl appearances - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Patriots Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Patriots Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
