Check out Carrs contract…..

[WarPanthers89]

Tell me why this would not be a good trade. Salary is not bad for a top 15 (maybe top 10) QB with very little risk if you have to cut him (dead cap hit is nothing really). If he is cut he can sign with any team. Carr on this team with a good O line, good running game, and an actual defense could mean that we own the South. Overall I’m on the fence about Carr compared to drafting a rookie QB, but his contract does make it much more appealing and it does seem like we are a QB away from being a team people would worry about in the playoffs.

Because we can have Sam for 8 mil

I'd encourage you to go take a look at what spotrac has to say about our projected cap numbers for next year, and then offer suggestions as to how this might be accomplished without making highly questionable moves elsewhere on the roster.

Only as a cut. No trade and hell no to that contract. He isn't worth it even if the dead money is low. 

Let other teams choke on foolish contracts. The Seahawks did it right with Wilson and the Ravens look poised to do the same with Jackson.

See Saints…..from 2006-current. You do have a good point and I will not deny that paying 40 mill would be ideal, but it’s not a bad option being that you can get out of it any year if you want. If we don’t go the Carr/Jimmy G route you are basically stuck with going the rookie QB route which may work out/may not. We have low competition in the division so now is the time to strike if we are going to. You cut/restructure Shaq and extend Burns and you have close to 30 million additional with two moves alone.

Good point. The alternative however is that if you sign as a free agent, similar to jimmy G you will dedicate long term cap to these guys where Carrs current contract allows you to cut bait at any time if you would like and he is proven to be a top half of the league QB

Again, as a fan of Carr’s, he can’t get the ball to an all-time great WR. That does not bode well. 

[BrianS]

Also a Carr fan, also don't want him here.  The only ways I want to see a veteran QB here are as a backup / mentor or as the final piece of the puzzle for a perrenial playoff team that just needs to get over the hump.

No one is going go trade for him. He is going to get cut.

Every team in the league is aware of this so only the dumbest of all teams would even consider trading for him. 

What is more likely happening is that people are contacting Carr's agent to start a feeling out process for free agency. 

[CashNewton22]

That would be a terrible trade. Let him go to Indy Miami New York etc I’m all the way out on him. It’s time to find out qb of the future.

He has 1290 yards, 12 td’s with two games to go

114 yards, 0 TD in his last 3 games combined. He's not even a top-20 QB anymore.

[RJK]

Carr just doesn’t win. Next

[Catsfan69]

Sam Darnold is better.
