2024 will be a crazy season for the Las Vegas Raiders. They will likely have two new quarterbacks, the rookie they draft and Gardner Minshew, whom they signed this offseason. And they will have one of the best defensive lines in football.
But, what's one of the crazier things to happen is that the Raiders will play the New Orleans Saints, who employ Derek Carr, their former franchise quarterback who played in silver and black for a decade.
The Saints are on the schedule, which means things could get wild. As for Carr, he is already telling everyone what he is going to do to his former teammate.
"I cannot wait," Carr said 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."
Last offseason, Carr was forced out of Las Vegas by Josh McDaniels and has since played a season with the Saints, where they had a near-top-10 offense. The Raider's new-look defense will be tasked with stopping a Saints offense that can easily put up points fast.
Crosby and Carr are friends, and I'm sure Crosby has already seen what Carr said. So, Carr just told everyone what he was going to do. But, in all seriousness, he should get a warm welcome from every Raiders fan watching the game, whenever it may be.
