This is a little odd - but again, it is the Raiders.

So the team has not dismissed GM Mike Mayock yet. But it looks like they are going to interview GM candidates - does Mayock have to re-interview to keep his current job? Or do they move him to some other position and bring in someone new? Anyway, Rapoport says that Dodds is on their short list for interviews.

Expect the Raiders to put in a request for Colts executive Ed Dodds, as well.

OK - now Mayock is fired per Breer.

Couldn't make it up—When Mayock was leaving the building, the guys working for him thought he was leaving for the day. No one said anything to them. And they found out like the rest of us via social media.

Dodds for Carr seems like an even trade.

Not really though.

I do like Carr, and more than Wentz. Having said that, Derek Carr? That is who we are pining for now? Have we really sank so low in our expectations of what we need out of a signal caller that David Carr is the answer to our problems?
I'll pass.
It will take some form of player or pick to acquire Carr. What has he proven at this point in his career except being a serviceable starter who cant win big games and is inconsistent at best. You can argue his weapons, you can argue the fact that his franchise moved, blah blah. Bottom line is Derek Carr is average, and to give up ANYTHING for a QB right now, he better be a substantial upgrade over Carson.
I still think we go Trubisky, Mariota or Winston. I hope Winton, because I think he brings the best things that Wentz does but has way better vision on the field and can get through his progressions. He's aggressive, and throws picks, but I do think his vision is miles ahead of Carson and he could be acquired for nothing.

Food for thought

Carr is good. Until he was injured in the game against us a few years back, everyone was saying he was a top 5 quarterback. I would take him in a heartbeat with this team. Winston is also an upgrade over Wentz, but I like Carr a little more.
