Derek Carr will not extend his Feb. 15th trigger date on his contract to give the Las Vegas Raiders more time to resolve his situation.

The position increases the likelihood Carr will be released by the Raiders and will then be in a position to choose his next team.

Carr maintained that he and his representatives would still like to be authorized to speak to potential trade partners, but the Raiders have not yet granted that permission. 

"That's for [the Raiders] to talk about," he said when asked about the team's refusal to allow conversations. "I'm just obeying the rules. If it gets to the date [and I get released], then I'll be able to talk to all my friends."
