Rather, it came down to his approach to a mix of professional and personal challenges which he regrets, but from which he also grew.The professional challenges last season included learning a new offense under then-new coach Josh McDaniels. Carr also alluded to unspecified personal matters that he preferred remain private. The Raiders were the only team for which Carr had played until they released him...
