The Raiders defeated the Patriots 23-6. Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Carr (a four-time Pro Bowler who spent nine of his 11 NFL seasons with the Raiders) is surely saying this tongue-in-cheek. But it\u2019s interesting that he doesn\u2019t appear interested in the Giants job, given<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/02\/26\/sports\/derek-carr-very-serious-about-nfl-return-with-teams-interested\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> reports earlier this year that he is seriously considering a return to the NFL<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps that\u2019s no longer the case. Or perhaps Carr just isn\u2019t interested in joining the Giants. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With quarterback Jaxson Dart ruled out for the rest of this NFL season with a knee injury, the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":858478,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[2356,28670,15944,1812,977,349,99],"class_list":["post-858477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-california","tag-derek-carr","tag-jaxson-dart","tag-las-vegas-raiders","tag-new-york-giants","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/858477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=858477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/858477\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/858478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=858477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=858477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=858477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
