Derek Carr Says Goodbye To The Raiders

by

Derek Carr had a solid time with the Las Vegas Raiders. While the team didn’t have a ton of success, they were still better than they had been in the previous decade. Now, however, it is clear that the Raiders are going to be moving on to someone else.

During the last two games of the season, Carr was benched. This is because both sides had come to an agreement over him not coming back next season. Overall, it was an emotional decision for both sides. Regardless, it seems like both parties are eager to just move on.

Derek Carr Speaks

Today, Carr took to social media with a long message for all of the Raiders fans out there. As you can see, this message came from the heart as Carr truly gave a lot to the city. Even if you thought he was a mediocre player, you can’t help but realize how hard he worked.

“Raider Nation it breaks my heart I didn’t get an opportunity to say goodbye in person,” Carr said. “We certainly have been on a roller coaster in our 9 years together. From the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful and appreciative of the years of support you have to my family and me. We had our share of both heart breaking moments and thrilling game winning drives, and it always felt like you were there next to me.”

Carr continued by noting just how hard he worked during his time with the franchise.

“It’s especially hard to say goodbye because I can honestly say that I gave you everything I had, every single day, in season, and in the off season,” Carr explained. “It certainly wasn’t perfect, but I hope that I was able to leave you with more than a few great memories as Raider fans.”

Tom Brady To Be Heavily Pursued By This Team

by

Tom Brady is going into the playoffs with a chip on his shoulder. He is the best player in the history of the sport, however, he didn’t have the best season. At times, he simply looked pedestrian. As a result, it felt like the Buccaneers had no chance of winning the title.

Although, Tom Brady knows how to get it going when it matters most. His team is poised for a playoff run and with the Dallas Cowboys as their first opponent, they want to make a big statement. Overall, they should be favored, even if the Cowboys were good down the stretch. After all, these are the Cowboys we are talking about here.

What Will Tom Brady Do?

Tom Brady has a big decision to make in the offseason. Of course, he will be a come an unrestricted free agent. This means he can either retire or simply go to another team. As you can imagine, there are plenty of teams out there who would want to pursue the NFL legend.

According to a report from Albert Breer, it was revealed that one team who will look closely at Brady is the Las Vegas Raiders. They are going to be trading Derek Carr which means they need a quarterback. Brady fits that bill perfectly, although if they don’t land him, they will settle for Jimmy Garoppolo.

Going to the Raiders would probably be a hard sell for Tom Brady. After all, he is someone who wants to win. The Raiders do not have the pieces to go out and win a title, so bringing in Brady wouldn’t exactly move the needle.

Let us know what you think Brady should do, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the NFL world.

Jakobi Meyers Ridiculed After Horrific Final Patriots Play

by

Jakobi Meyers and the New England Patriots were a trending topic on Twitter last night, for all of the wrong reasons. During their game against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Patriots had one last drive to try and win the game. The score was tied at 24, and if the Patriots just ran the clock out, they would go to overtime.

However, that is not what happened. Instead, Jakobi Meyers received a lateral that should have never been attempted. Meyers had nowhere to go, and instead of going out of bounds, he attempted to throw the ball back to quarterback Mac Jones. Eventually, the ball was intercepted by Chandler Jones, who scored the dumbest last-second game-winning touchdown we have ever seen.

Jakobi Meyers Apologizes

After the game, Meyers showed accountability for his poor decision. He had tears in his eyes, and he admitted that he was trying to be the hero. Overall, it was a sad moment for the player, who clearly understands that this could have professional ramifications.

Additionally, the internet was not particularly forgiving towards Meyers. Whenever a player makes a mistake like this, you can be sure that people are going to be cruel. Of course, that is exactly what happened in this particular instance. Regardless of his humility, he was always going to get roasted.

Down below, you can find a plethora of memes that make light of the situation. Overall, the memes are pretty brutal as they portray Meyers as the villain of the Patriots’ locker room. Moreover, there is this sense that Meyers could be kicked off the team by Bill Belichick, who is known for his no-nonsense attitude.

Meyers has been an effective player for the Patriots this season, although there is no doubt that this is a brutal development for him. Hopefully, the Pats keep him so he can redeem himself. After all, one play should not define an entire career.

Let us know what you thought of the play, in the comment down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the sports world.

The Raiders are breaking barriers and issuing in a new future for an NFL front office.  Las Vegas announced on Thursday it’s hired Sandra Douglass Morgan to be its new team president. 

Morgan becomes the first ever Black woman to hold that title for an NFL franchise. She joins the team after working as the chairwoman and executive director of the Nevada Gaming Control Board. 

Raiders owner Mark Davis said in a statement that Morgan’s “experience, integrity and passion for this community will be invaluable to our organization.”  He continued, “From the moment I met Sandra, I knew she was a force to be reckoned with. We are extremely lucky to have her at the helm.”

The former litigation attorney shared her thoughts in a statement, according to NFL.com.

“I have been the first in other positions that I’ve held, whether it be city attorney or the Gaming Control Board. I definitely never want to be the last, and I want to get to a point obviously where there is no more first.”

Morgan added, “But as I kind of mentioned in my comments, the impact that this has is not lost on me. I definitely would tip my hat to all of the prior women that were leaders and visionaries, and if I could be an inspiration or help or open doors for any other woman and girl out there, then that’s an incredible accomplishment for me.”

SOURCE SPORTS: Las Vegas Raiders Not Ready To Talk Deal After Colin Kaepernick Work Out

Colin Kaepernick worked out for the Las Vegas Raiders for over five hours on Thursday with no official deal to report. While reports say the workout was a positive one,  Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels declined to comment to reporters on Kaepernick’s movement, stating that he does not discuss players not currently on the roster.

“Just by standard procedure, we will only talk about the people that are on our team,” McDaniels said. “[General manager] Dave [Ziegler] and his staff have worked out tons of guys this spring, and we really don’t make comments about the evaluations that we’ve made; or what they look like, what they didn’t look like.

“They’re kind of private for us as we look at things to try to make decisions to make the team better.”

Currently, the Raiders are set at starting quarterback with Derek Carr, who signed a three-year $121.5 million extension this offseason. The team also acquired Jarrett Stidham from the New England Patriots. If the Raiders are going to sign Kaepernick, he would be looking at the third-string quarterback job.

Kaepernick hasn’t been an NFL starting quarterback since 2016. Since then, the only other team known to have brought him in for a visit was the Seattle Seahawks in May 2017. If Kaepernick is serious about an NFL comeback, he will have to continue to show out and prove at 34 years old, that he still got the skills to be on an NFL roster.

Packers Trade All-Pro Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders

The Green Bay Packers are keeping Aaron Rodgers, but it came at a price. They couldn’t afford to keep Davante Adams. The Las Vegas Raiders are acquiring Adams from the Packers in exchange for their 2022 first- and second-round picks and giving the superstar receiver a new five-year, $141.25 million contract, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported. 

The trade reunites Adams with Derek Carr, his quarterback at Fresno State before they entered the NFL together in 2014, and also gives Carr a No. 1 receiver in his prime.

The Raiders and the entire AFC West have been busy this offseason. Each team in the division made improvements to their respective rosters. The Packers have a ton of draft capital heading into the 2022 NFL Draft. Expect the Packers to use some of that capital on some new offensive weapons for Rodgers.

The AFC West continues to be the wild west as each team within that division has made significant upgrades. The Las Vegas Raiders have upgraded their pass rush with the addition of Chandler Jones.

Jones signs with the Raiders for a reportedly $17 million a year per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Jones has some Hall of Fame-worthy numbers with 107.5 career sacks in 10 seasons. He’s surpassed the double-digit mark in seven seasons, and three years he didn’t was his rookie season when he had six in 14 games and in 2014 and 2020, where he only played in eight and five games, respectively. Also, he’s only two years removed from a career-high 19-sack campaign.

With a division including Russell Wilson, Patrick Mahomes, and Justin Herbert, the Raiders are looking to lean on Chandler to help stabilize those electric quarterbacks.
