Following Carr's rookie season, Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie drafted wide receiver Amari Cooper and picked up Michael Crabtree via free agency.
As such, here are the best case scenarios for the Raiders wide receiving corps in 2017.
Derek Carr has grown frustrated at the pace of negotiations for a contract extension, NFL Media reported Monday. Carr's patience is "wearing thin", according to Silver's sources.
Both the Raiders and Carr would like to have a deal in place before training camp in late July. He also reports there has been "no significant communication" between the team and the agents so far.

The club captain has not started a Premier League game since a 2-2 draw with Swansea City on September 11. Watford boss Walter Mazzari believes league winners Chelsea were the most superior team this season.
The Raiders have about $32 million under the salary cap for 2017, according to McDonald, which should be enough to get deals done with Carr, starting guard Gabe Jackson and the recently drafted class of rookies. Spending too much time on negotiating a deal with Carr could theoretically allow Jackson to enter the regular season without a new deal in place.
Carr is set to make $977,519 in his fourth year in the National Football League and is due for a contract extension that Silver reports could top Andrew Luck as the biggest among quarterbacks.

Carr, who was not a first-round pick, does not have a fifth-year team option on his contract. Wrote Silver: "From Carr's perspective, that gives the two sides a month and a half to get the deal done - and increases the urgency to resume discussions".
