As expected, the Las Vegas Raiders informed Derek Carr of his release. As a result, Carr will get a head start in free agency and is expected to have a heavy market. Carr previously met with the New Orleans Saints and should visit with more teams before deciding. The Carolina Panthers, New York Jets, and Tennessee Titans are also expected to be interested in Carr. The move also frees up $29 million in cap space, which the Raiders may need to get a new quarterback.

Chad Henne has been Patrick Mahomes' backup quarterback for five seasons, and now he's going out on top, retiring after the Kansas City Chiefs' latest Super Bowl win. One of his highlights? Coming in for Mahomes in the divisional round against the Jacksonville Jaguars and keeping the offense running while Mahomes got treatment on his injured ankle. Henne led a 98-yard drive ending in a touchdown. more Qb news:
The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl Champions. Again. And Patrick Mahomes is Super Bowl MVP. Again. After winning the league's Most Valuable Player Award on Thursday, Mahomes is the first player to win both in the same season since 1999. He's also the first regular-season passing yards leader to win the Super Bowl. Mahomes completed 21 of 27 passes for 182 yards and three touchdowns. On a bum ankle. And added an additional 44 yards rushing. more QB News:

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray suffered a non-contact knee injury on the third play during Monday Night Football.
Murray was in the middle of a scramble when his knee appeared to buckle. (I'm not going to post the video, but you can look for it if you want to see it.) Murray was carted off the field, surrounded by teammates, and quickly ruled questionable to return. Murray was later ruled out by the team in the second quarter with a knee injury. Backup QB Colt McCoy replaced him.
Reports began to emerge throughout the game that Murray had torn his ACL. Murray will have an MRI on Tuesday to confirm.

The moment we've all been waiting for - we finally know who will be starting for the Washington Commanders going forward. Head coach Ron Rivera announced on Wednesday that quarterback Taylor Heinicke will start for the team in Week 11 against the Houston Texans.
Carson Wentz is still on injured reserve with a finger injury, but he is eligible to resume throwing. It's unclear whether Heinicke will remain the starter for the remainder of the season, or if it's just next week.
In my personal opinion, I think Heinicke has more than earned it. The offense plays better with him, and his record (3-1 as a starter) shows it. He'll get a gimme game against the Texans, but beating the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles was a huge momentum shift for the Commanders. more qb news:
The Philadelphia Eagles are undefeated no more. Unfortunately, the Eagles played their worst game all season with three turnovers. While the game went back and forth for most of the duration, it wasn't as close as the score might suggest. The Eagles couldn't keep the Washington Commanders off the field (not something I thought I'd ever say), and it seemed like every time Philly seemed to get it together, they turned the ball over.
Neither quarterback impressed, but Washington QB Taylor Heinicke celebrated in style on the flight home. If this doesn't seal him keeping the starting job, I'm not sure what will.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was the better QB during Thursday Night Football, but only if you point to the second half. After a shaky start, Jackson ended up going 27-of-38 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-22 win over Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
And it's not a Lamar Jackson Game without a Lamar Jackson Run.

Are we closer than ever to seeing Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder the hell outta here? Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay told reporters at the owners' conference that he believes there is "merit" to remove him. ?
I'm not going to get into the logistics, but Snyder is a eyesore amongst the NFL (where there are many bad things happening, so that tells you a lot). It's certainly interesting to see another NFL owner publicly state those comments; it makes you think he's not alone in his thoughts. Irsay also said it may take about 24 votes to oust Snyder.
