The Raiders can do what they want to do here. They can decide they weren't going to bring him back in '18 anyway so their relationship with him doesn't matter and fine the shit out of him. Or they can go ahead and give him the long-term deal they were going to have to give him next season anyway (the only distinction being a bit of frontloading).
Much ado about nothing. He's not going to miss any games; dude's too old to do that shit and if he gets hurt because he jaked camp, any chance at a serious payday at 35 yrs old next season will vanish. He'll rattle his saber a bit but if the Raiders tell him to **** off and play, he'll play. They'll waive the fines and time will march on.

He'll get paid...watch. Carr is a $25 mil QB....and the team is terrible without him. They cant go into the season without a LT...I hope they try it though. AFCW pass-rushers will have fun...
