Derek Carr Weighs In On Darren Waller to the Packers Trade Rumors

It’s NFL Draft week, which means the rumor mill is churning extra hard.

This week rumors surfaced that the Packers and Raiders were exploring a potential trade for Raiders tight end Darren Waller. According to the report, Green Bay is in the market for a veteran tight end, and Waller is their target.

Naturally this deal would take place during this week’s NFL draft, and the deal would be done by Thursday.

Via Cheesehead TV:

“According to a pair of league sources, however, the Packers are targeting a veteran tight end. Specifically, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller. The Packers and Raiders have engaged in talks regarding a trade of Waller with an eye toward a deal getting done during this week’s NFL draft.

Waller is also apparently the player the Packers were trying to pry away from the Raiders during the negotiations around the trade of Davante Adams, a move that was nixed when both sides were reminded that league rules prohibit players being part of compensation for a trade of a player on an unsigned franchise tag.”

Derek Carr was asked about the trade rumor and the Raiders quarterback had a very telling answer. Point blank it’s not happening according to Carr.

With the Raiders already adding Davante Adams to the mix, Waller becomes even more dangerous, no point of getting rid of another target for Carr. Clearly the Packers are reaching out to everyone to try to help Aaron Rodgers after all his favorite receivers have left Green Bay.

Try again Pack.
