Mike Mayock: John Gruden and I will pound the table for Derek Care

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.

But Las Vegas already has quarterbacks under contract. And at least for now, the club seems to be content to roll with Derek’s car.

During his press conference on Wednesday, Mike Mayok was indirectly asked about Wilson under the guise of fiction: If an elite player is considered, do you call? Or you say I have my person, I don’t need to pick up the phone?

“Obviously, I can’t talk about anyone else’s players, so I won’t.” “I’ll just talk about Derek and I’ll tell you what I’ve told you the last few years, which I think Derek Carey had his best year under John Gruden. I think he’s one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks and we can’t be happier with him.

“And I tell you every year, we evaluate every situation every year. I don’t know who will call me or who will not call me. So you have to evaluate both your own players and every other player in the league. And you have to put up your board and figure out what the value of the league is around the league – and we’ll do that. But if you ask me about Derek, I think Jon and I would both be bha and be bha and set the table for Derek’s car. “

While Mayok is impressive for his admiration for the car, he didn’t leave a little wiggle room that effectively resembles an admiration sandwich. He said riders may not be happy with the car, but noted that any team can call. And if that team offered a player, if Las Vegas rated it better than a car, then anything could happen.

At this point, it still seems probable that in 2021 the riders will have cars behind. But Mayok can’t explicitly rule out the possibility of getting a better quarterback when a team calls.
