Late Monday night, a report surfaced that Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has a "fractured relationship" with his teammates because he appeared to be crying after a recent injury against the Seahawks in London.
Tuesday morning, Carr went on Twitter to blast the rumors.
Don't even waste your time with this big bro. On the ground I yelled get me up get me. Then I got to the sideline and yelled again. Not one tear. Not one time. There is the Truth. People will click on it because it sounds crazy. But stop playing with me.— Derek Carr (@derekcarrqb) October 23, 2018
I'm a Raider. It's not a "popular" thing to be a Raider right now, but I am and I love it. I love the struggle of trying to fight back for our city when not a lot of people believe in us. People can try all they want to tear us apart, but it's not happening to the real ones. 💀— Derek Carr (@derekcarrqb) October 23, 2018

The rumors regarding Carr's status with the team come on the heels of the Raiders trading wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Cowboys.
Could Carr be the next Raiders star to be traded? As Ray Ratto writes, if Jon Gruden wants to trade his quarterback, now is the time.
