NEW ORLEANS — Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported that Raiders quarterback Derek Carr informed the New Orleans Saints that he won't approve of a trade to them - or any other team,

Carr is expected to be released by the Raiders before the $40.4 million in guarantees in his contract kick in on February 15.

As he has a no-trade clause and veto power over any deal, Carr had no incentive to accept a trade because he can visit with any team he wants before free agency begins in march.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero said that despite having a framework for a trade-in place, Carr's $40.4 million guarantee was an issue, but Carr also had the ability to decline any trade he wanted.
