Yeah...not happening.

The Packers aren't trading him in the NFC.

Would Brissett be an option? 2 year bridge contract for like 10-15m a year. 

Definitely an option. Is he better than Darnold?  I am not sure just asking if he would be an upgrade

They’ll trade him where he wants to go.  Similar to Stafford to Rams.

Would love Carr, but way over priced.

What? He literally said yesterday he wants 35M. That’s like the most reasonable contract out there for a proven consistent starter you’ll find

Nope.

They don't have to trade him at all, and per reports that option is on the table.

Now you could suggest that a ridiculous offer might change their mind, but we're not making that kind of offer...nor should we.

We need to be heavily into the Carr interest, especially early on, if for nothing else to drive up the price.

He's a good guy and a good QB, and if we could have him for the right price, he'd be great here. We won't be able to get him for the right price, though, so we should do our best to make sure whichever one of the NFCSouth teams snags him, that there's a nice, hefty contract that will richly reward him and hamstring them for the next four to five years.

[Mr. Scot]

The one consistent observation that I have with Carr is that I think if they're given a chance to talk, he and Frank Reich would probably really hit it off.

It'd be a stretch to say that means he'll wind up here as there are loads of other factors to consider, but hey...

That doesnt make any sense.Who is he creating damage control for ? 

his ethos 

[rippadonn]

Sounds like they want a veteran to compete with and eventually give way to their QB everybody willfully forgets about. He's pretty good at football from what everyone was saying BEFORE the last draft.

Aaron Rodgers doesn't have a no-trade clause, but he has to approve of any deal because if he doesn't like where he's traded, he can just say we will retire, and any team trading for him will want to know that detail before any actual trade is approved. So, it's an effective no-trade clause, even if it's not an official one.

As for them not trading him if he wants to be traded, sure they can hold him hostage, but that would be dumb on their part because they won't get any compensation for him, and they'll likely end up paying him 60 mil to do nothing.

For Christ sake is it too much to ask to draft a guy in the first and actually develop him?  Why is the damn panthers employed writer suggesting stupid poo like this?

[raleigh-panther]

I have nothing against Derek Carr personally 

he is an average nfl qb  and seems like a decent guy 

and it is true he played for franchise killer, McDaniels, but he has done nothing to warrant $40 million a year or multiple years plus   Let someone else grab that bait 

 He is not worth it 

draft the qb they want. Have a bridge qb for six games, 10 games, the year.who is competent like Brisset and move on

If it's between Rodgers or Carr give me Rodgers all day. But I think his shtick would wear thin with Panthers fans fairly quick.
