Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk It’s an odd situation for sure. So many moving parts but if Carr can wait the extra month until Free Agency, he can really cash in and go anywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jgb Posted February 9 Popular Post Share Posted February 9 Don’t see how it benefits Carr a bit to waive trade clause. Even a trade will come with an extension by his new team. Why not just get cut and then incite a bidding war? 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 if the saints weren't on carr's preferred list then why would he visit them? and if they're willing to make a trade then they are also okay with his current contract. carr may feel he can get more in free agency but i think he'll be sadly mistaken. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenFish Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Been saying all this time a 3rd is the comp. Carr likely doesnt care if his future team trades a 3rd. And it’s not a lot to give up for him to ensure you get him. Contract wise, Carr’s agent knows what he is worth. Teams will pay up knowing someone else will. He’s already shopping around. Imagine wanting Carr and missing out because of a 3rd round pick? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post shuler82 Posted February 9 Popular Post Share Posted February 9 So are you saying if the jets offered a 3rd, Carr would waive his no trade clause and would come play in New York on his current deal? …because all of those things are not true. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade would need to come with an extension and new guaranteed money. Carr wouldn’t leave money on the table to agree to a trade. So it just begs the question why not just go to FA and then field offers? Maybe someone can tell me how it benefits Carr to waive his NT clause because I don’t see it. The only rationale I can think of is of the raiders have at least created a credible threat they might not cut him to control his rights and dare him to sit out if he doesn’t waive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Adoni Beast Posted February 9 Popular Post Share Posted February 9 I jest....I like Carr but there's no point in trying to trade for him. He has all the leverage and will get cut and will be able to choose any team he wants. And for the "but we'll trade for him before another team can sign him!" group - Carr's no trade clause basically turns his trade window into his own personal free agency anyway so its all moot. If he wants to come here and we want him, it'll get done. If not, then not. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the NFL, it's all about guaranteed salary. Carr has $40 million in guarantees that kick in Feb 15. $33m in 2023 and $7m in 2024, meaning he can be cut with zero strings attached after next year. I would be very surprised if Carr decided to gamble the rest of his career beyond this season. I'd bet a sizeable amount of money that he is reworking his deal in conjunction with a trade.

Trotter Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 knowing nothing - I get the sense the Jets are not all that interested in Carr. Now maybe the way the JETS operate is different under JD, but typically there is some smoke around potential moves whether that be trade of FA. I simply don't remember seeing anything of interest of the Jets to Carr and don't even see leaks from the reporters. I guess we will see 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his agents think a team will pay a premium on said extension in a trade to ensure they get their man, maybe that could play in. I don’t see it just hypothesizing why the heck he wouldn’t just wait to be cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets could very well want Carr, but if Carr has no interest in NY, it’s a non starter. I would have to imagine JD has already kicked the tires unless they have an oral agreement in place with another QB. Of course If Carrs agents were worth their commission, they’d feign interest in the Jets once Carr becomes a FA. In any case…should be a rollercoaster next few weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the Jets get used to drive up the contract for a team that he wants to go to OR if there isn’t a strong market for him elsewhere, the Jets get played against themselves and he “settles” for the Jets while they grossly overpay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
