The four-time Pro Bowler has a no-trade clause and $40.4 million in guarantees that activate in his contract on Feb. 15 so both Las Vegas and Carr are working towards finding him a new home in the coming days.

Just for clarity sake: The @Raiders and @Saints have agreed on compensation element of a trade for Derek Carr. That was always the requirement for any team to get permission to speak with Carr.
