yup no one wants that bad contract. 

Bad contract??  What?  If you trade for him, you'd hope he comes on that contract that exists.

He was guaranteed like $65 million.  The Raiders already paid him $25 million .  He's guaranteed $35 million next year....after which, if he sucks or you want to change directions, his dead cap hit is like $ 5mill in 2024 to cut/release him.  That's a good evaluation contract IMO.

Problem is, Carr has a NTC...and if he accepts a trade to another team he may ask to have that contract renegotiated for more guarantees...or he can reject a trade and wait for the Raiders to release him outright and subject himself to NFL bidding for his services.

I'd love him here on his current deal...and I believe the Jets would too.

Carr is going to bet on himself, with inside information.

Teams will want to trade for him.  If Carr wants to help out the Raiders, he will cooperate with the trade.  He can decide to stick the trading team with his current contract, which guarantees him $35mm this year and like $5++mm next year (but if the trading team keeps him he costs over $40mm-it could be hard for the trading team to let him go if he plays half way decent).

Or Carr can say I am not approving unless I get a new deal.  If the trading team says no, the Raiders cut him, and then he negotiates a new deal from scratch.  Who knows where that ends up, but I predict 3 years guaranteed at about $35mm.  That is a better deal than his current contract, which is why I predict Carr does not approve a trade.

I keep hearing trade compensation regarding Carr…WHY?

In exactly a month Carr is guaranteed $40M more unless they cut him. If they cut him they are only out $5M.

He’s going to be a UFA. It’s a gift it’s happening is so early in the process.

Carr is awful.  Smart by the Colts.

I won't go as far as to say he's awful, but he's average at best. And he's a horrible leader.

The fact that Jets fans want Carr after how he acted with the Raiders considering we just experienced this dilemma with Wilson as hilarious

Wait a minute....

On his current deal he's guaranteed $40 million over the next two years....but he's gonna reject a trade to negotiate a new deal for 3 years guaranteed at $35 million?  I suppose you mean 3 yrs at $35 mill/yr or $105 million guaranteed?

For Carr, that would be too rich for my blood before he showed he can be successful HERE.  But that's just me.  And I'm not too sure he'd get that from anyone...but maybe lol.

With Carr, that's the rub....a trading team would probably like him on a residual 2 yr/$40 million guaranteed deal.  BUT he has a NTC, and can refuse any trade which will lead him to being cut at which point he can renegotiate a new contract, in all likelihood for more guarantees than $40 million over 2 years.

Question then becomes how much IS he worth to the signing team?  What's everyones 'price point'?

Very early, so take that for what it’s worth, but this weekend I got the sense from texts that it would be more along the lines of this:352A6C7C-B0BB-4C9E-8EBF-B2DA31CE0DE8.thumb.jpeg.aa642cd2bea7e121e8acc1e80b9d4944.jpeg

That being said, it’s not even a given

Oh, that's horrible.

He is ALWAYS hurt.  And is mediocre when he's healthy.   And they just fired the OC that runs the offense he knows.

Not disagreeing.  Just heard over the weekend to watch this more than Carr.

It’s a 3 year residual though, worth $110M. 
 

That’s a different commitment than 2/$40.

yeah starting to think as vet option probably best option but they must draft a guy like Tune, McKee, Haener and try to hit on long shot if they do any of these guys.  Gets you to 2024 when things probably start over anyway.

but the only way JD/Saleh salvages this program they started with drafting Zach is taking a shot on Jordan Love and Love is actually good/good enough or even if there is another Jordan Love type out there.  This gets JD back on that program schedule he would have had with Zach..almost. and gets you a guy with potential upside again and have team grow around him for that year in year out relevance they were promising.  of course even if they went after Love they still need to draft one of Tune, McKee, Haener this season as well and have 4 QB in room until it is solved.

This always seemed to be the most realistic option, but given that their jobs are on the line I'm a little surprised that this seems to be option 1 for Douglas and Salem.

If he can stay healthy and we upgrade our Oline and Offensive coach staff - we're a contender.

If those things don't happen, new GM, new HC, new QB, new everything 2024.

If this is the route we're going I really hope we upgrade the backup QB spot as well. Nothing against Mike White but he's even more injury prone than Garoppolo.

Get Jimmy G and Jacoby Brissett (especially if we're hiring this Caley dude from Chowder Land) might as well pair him with QBs he / they are comfortable with, and red shirt Zack Wilson for 2023.

Carr would be the best Jets QB in History.  All of Jets history. Statistically better and more consistent over time than even JWN.

"The Indianapolis Colts will not be trading for Carr, according to Zak Keefer of The Athletic.

That is not much of a surprise. The Colts have not found a long-term solution at quarterback since Andrew Luck retired in 2018. They have cycled through three veterans — Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan — the past three years and the results have gotten progressively worse each season"

This is good for us.  Give me Carr and Greg Olson.  One less obstacle in the way.

That’s what someone who has a Jets fans are the best would think.  Zach is the Jets fans are the best, Carr is the cure.

Disagree .. Lamar will RG 3 out and Carr is the better bet.

I want Carr, but I think it's fair to say good QBs don't generally HAVE to come from behind but it's a good trait to have none the less. I'd bet his poor defenses and near perfect health has played a factor in him leading this category.

Carr's problem is what it has always been; he's saddled with an awful defense.

The way Jets fans look down on potential QB upgrades in such snobbish fashion after having the worst quarterback room in the league for 20-30 years is top notch. Carr instantly upgrades this team despite what stats are thrown around. The Jets defense doesn’t require a top 5 qb to win. 

 

Jets could have had a 33 year old solid Vet QB, NO Nate Hackett, and a bridge to the NEXT young QB a couple of years down the line. Unfortunately, Woody got dazzled with the big name guy that got hurt because he was 40 and past his prime and is now in a total downward spiral meltdown and getting hurt every game. 

 

And they called US fools... lol

I wanted either Carr or Rodgers but preferred Rodgers because of the higher ceiling.
