My fellow Americans Womens Derek Carr Jersey , our long national nightmare is over. Antonio Brown has found a helmet.Brown, the Raiders wide receiver who filed two grievances and missed multiple practices this summer because the NFL wouldn’t let him wear the decade-old helmet he’s worn for his entire career, has found a new helmet model that meets the NFL’s specifications and meets his own needs as well.That helmet is the Xenith Shadow, which Brown finds comfortable, has good sight lines, and is light enough that he feels fast wearing it.Brown has worn the same helmet his entire NFL career, and he wanted to bring that helmet from Pittsburgh and have it painted with the Raiders’ colors. But that helmet was disallowed by the NFL because it is more than 10 years old, and when Brown found newer versions of the same helmet, those were disallowed, too. Now Brown finally has his helmet, and we can, we hope, stop hearing about this issue. The Raiders are committed to Derek Carr. Unless they aren’t.The more accurate statement would be “until they aren’t,” because G.M. Mike Mayock made it clear on Thursday that Carr will continue as the team’s quarterback for as long as the team believe that it’s in the team’s best interests to do so.“Derek Carr is a franchise quarterback Womens Antonio Brown Jersey , and we believe that,” Mayock said Thursday. “Beyond that, just like at any other position, we’re going to do our due diligence. If we found somebody we liked better, or thought had a bigger upside, you’ve got to do the right thing for the organization.”That’s the closest anyone with the Raiders has come to telling the truth regarding the manner in which the Raiders regard Carr. And that may be news to Carr, who apparently bristled via Twitter at the mere news of a private workout with incoming rookie Kyler Murray and who presumably has received far different messages from Gruden privately.Indeed, Gruden has sent far different messages regarding Carr publicly.“He’s our franchise quarterback. Let me make that clear,” Gruden said at the Scouting Combine in February.“I’m glad he’s our quarterback,” Gruden said during the 2018 season, after Gruden and Carr engaged in a heated sideline exchange.“Yeah, he’s going to be our quarterback,” Gruden said last month, at the annual league meetings. “I’m not going to address all the rumors. I could care less about the rumors Antonio Brown Jersey White , you know?”But the rumors linger, and Mayock’s comments will do nothing to quell them. Mayock could have said that, for example, the Raiders worked out Murray and Dwayne Haskins so that the Raiders would be able to properly value those players in the event an opportunity arises to trade the right to draft one of both of them, by moving down in round one from the fourth overall pick. Mayock didn’t say that, however. He said that the Raiders are looking at alternatives to Carr because “[i]f we found somebody we liked better, or thought had a bigger upside, you’ve got to do the right thing for the organization.”So, basically, the Raiders like Carr enough to keep him. Until they find someone they like better. And that could happen in as soon as 13 days, when the Raiders use any of the three first-round picks they hold in the 2019 draft.If there was any ambiguity about that before, there shouldn’t be now. Meanwhile, I’m going to go check Carr’s Twitter feed.
