The Las Vegas Raiders will have a crazy season in 2024. They are likely to have two new quarterbacks: the rookie they choose and Gardner Minshew, who they signed this offseason. And they’ll have one of football’s top defensive lines.
But one of the strangest things to happen is that the Raiders will face the New Orleans Saints, who are led by Derek Carr, their former franchise quarterback who played in silver and black for a decade.
The Saints are on the schedule, so things may get wild. Carr has already told everyone what he plans to do to his former teammate.
“I cannot wait,” Carr wrote on Instagram. “I’m going to start a fight with (Maxx Crosby) and punch him, and then have the referee only see him throw his punch back.”
Josh McDaniels pulled Carr out of Las Vegas last summer, and he has since spent a season with the Saints, who boasted a near-top-10 offense. The Raiders’ fresh look defense will be faced with stopping a Saints offense that can score quickly.
Crosby and Carr are buddies, and I’m sure Crosby has seen what Carr stated. Carr just told everyone what he was going to do. But, in all seriousness, he deserves a warm welcome from every Raiders fan watching the game, no matter when it is.
