I wanted Carr back when the trade rumors were on, but I'm glad we did not get him. He's older than Darnold. If he comes in as a FA that's fine but trading for him? Unless we get him for a 5th round pick like Baker, fug no. There's no incentive. At this point it would be cheaper to just sign Darnold to a 2 year deal and have Corral take the ship in year 3.

I'm all for that plan.   🙂

If we still haven’t learned, then we’d trade for him. Carr has a huge guarantee escalator if he’s still on the team in February. I’m betting they benched him the last two games to make sure he doesn’t get hurt (guaranteed for injury clause) after they’ve kind of made up their mind to not keep him. He will be released in February or before.

Darnold was basically in the same boat where everyone in the world knew they’d go Wilson and dump Darnold and SF had moved on (already traded for Lance) and we decided to give away 3 picks instead of waiting for the release. At least we threw away less for Baker, but we’d be stupid to trade for Carr and inherit that bloated deal. 

I doubt they straight cut him.  Somebody will give them something for him.   That’s a ton of money to absorb to just make him go away.

It’s only 5.6M that can be split over two years if they want. That’s nothing when cutting a QB. The rest is base salary at 30-40M for the next three years. No one is trading for that contract. He would have to agree to a completely new deal to make a trade even discussed. If they thought they could trade him, they wouldn’t have destroyed his value by making him go away

I was wrong.   I just read the article on the ringer and the raiders were smart in their negotiating of his contract.  I thought it was close to 30 million dead money it’s on 5ish

You laughter not know his contract. On 2/15 (a month and a half before the draft), his $33M 2023 salary and $7.5M of his 2024 salary becomes guaranteed. Why would any team take that on when it’s clear that the Raiders have moved on and are are making sure he doesn’t get hurt? Throwing away draft picks to boot.  Why would Carr renegotiate to lower his salary for only one prospective team and cost them picks when he can just be a FA since he wouldn’t go through waivers?

Just like Darnold, but way before the draft, Carr is going to be released. He also has a no trade clause.

Yeah I was wrong.   Looks like they will cut him and he will have his choice of teams that pursue him.  Undoubtedly one of them will be us imo.

If he is cut I'm not against signing him providing the contract is not stupid.  I just don't want to trade away anything or take on stupid money.  I also wouldn't let him stop me from drafting a QB if the right one is there come draft day.

He is probably going to want a 3-5 year deal.  If it’s one year sure.   Let darnold walk draft a guy and move on down the road

Yeah at 31 I wouldn't go past a 3 year deal.  Third year should be structured for an early release.  Someone else will overpay for him hopefully not us.

      Nailed it! Chiefs got #10 overall (and selected Mahomes) and sent the Bills #27, #91, and a 2018 first-rounder (ended up being #18) to pick the QB that has kept them out of the Super Bowl. 💀 Tbf to the Bills tho, they turned those picks into Tre'Davious White, Dion Dawkins, Tremaine Edmunds, and Siran Neal. Three out of four hits ain't bad at all, but that one for one for KC... ooh wee mayne.

      Yep. Happens to a lot of talented kids. I just think a lot of people don't understand that just because this kid is super talented doesn't mean he's going to make it to the pros. Most of them won't. Some will get injured. Some will run into trouble off the court/field. Some won't put in the work. The catering greatly increases the odds of the latter two. Then most will simply just not be good enough to make it to the pros. Either way, it all adds up to a long shot and the kids need to have solid plan Bs. A few years back my HS had the #1 RB recruit on the nation. He originally committed to UGA but flipped to Bama and was getting decent playing time as a true freshman before obliterating his ankle. He was never the same again after that. Never made it to the pros. Not sure what happened to him but evidently he wasn't the brightest bulb and was basically just getting passed through school to stay academically eligible. I don't think he was a bad kid, never really heard anything like that. He just wasn't all that bright and all the eggs were in the football basket.
