The Raiders have reportedly begun assessing the potential trade market for Carr, as reported by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Thursday.

The veteran quarterback quickly responded to the news with a moving post on social media.

My heart hurts Raider Nation. Carr lamented that he had been unable to personally bid farewell.

Our nine years together have been nothing short of an emotional roller coaster.

It seemed like you were right there by my side through all the tough times, from the devastating losses to the exhilarating comebacks.

Fans of the Oakland Raiders are naturally disappointed that Carr will play for another team next year.

Another admirer thanked Derek Carr on Twitter. As one of the greatest Raiders of all time, I hope for nothing but the best for you.

The Raiders will need to locate a suitable trade partner for Carr as soon as possible.
