NFL Insider: Tom Brady Replacing Derek Carr for Raiders 'Makes Far Too Much Sense'

The Raiders benched Carr for the rest of the season so they could sign Tom Brady.

The Raiders' future plan at quarterback starts with Brady, according to a detailed breakdown written by Jeff Howe.

The Raiders will play the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs in the last two games of the season.

According to Ian Rapoport, Carr will be away from the team after the two sides agreed it would be best for him to be on the bench.

Carr's contract status may have been a factor in the decision to start Stidham.

The Raiders gave Carr a three-year, $121.5 million extension in April, but it was a deal that gave them an easy out after this season. If he is released or traded, they will save over 30 million dollars.

If Carr is on the roster three days after the Super Bowl, the Raiders will have to make a decision on his contract.

Carr gets a lot of say in where he ends up if the Raiders try to move him to bring back assets instead of releasing him.

If the Raiders decide to move on from Carr, Brady would be a good choice. It would be easier for them to sell tickets if he were in the league.

In October, Mick Akers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Allegiant Stadium's season ticket prices would range from $700 to $4,500. The low and middle tiers will go up if you pay in full or $1,815 with a payment plan.

Bringing in a marquee star at quarterback could make it easier to sell season tickets in a market where there is no shortage of entertainment options.

Brady and McDaniels are related. They were together for 16 seasons with the New England Pats, with the exception of 11 of those seasons.

According to reports, Brady's decision to sign with the Buccaneers was influenced by his strained relationship with the team's coach.

Brady denied the rumors in a post on the social media site. Brothers for life, please be more responsible with reporting.

Brady joining the Raiders would allow him to play with a good group of skill position players. When healthy, Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow andDarren Waller are great pass catchers.

Josh Jacobs, who will be a free agent in March, leads the league in rushing yards and scrimmage yards.

If the Raiders want to bring in a quarterback like Brady who is stationary at this point in his career, the offensive line needs to be shored up.

We don't know if Brady will play in 2023. He has had a hard time with the team this season.

If Brady believes he can still play at a high level, he may want to keep testing the laws of time.
