The Oakland Raiders have assured Derek Carr that he'll remain the team's starting quarterback for the foreseeable future, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Oakland appears to be undergoing a rebuilding effort, most recently trading Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys for a first-round pick on Monday. The Raiders are now armed with three 2019 first-round picks, leading some to speculate they could take a quarterback in the upcoming draft.
However, Carr has reportedly been given assurances that the Raiders do not intend to trade him with the Oct. 30 deadline looming.
A report emerged that Carr had developed a fractured relationship with his teammates amid a rough start to the season. Carr denied this notion, taking to Twitter to defend himself and the Raiders.
The quarterback signed a five-year, $125-million extension with the Raiders in June 2017.
