Report: Raiders haven’t given Derek Carr permission to seek trade

That sounds nice but we can't afford to pay him 30-35 per year straight up. You must make it 4-5 years to deal with the cap.

I think you can both be right.

3 year deal with 1-2 void years to spread out the cap. If he’s great, we restructure and pay him great QB money. If he’s not, hopefully you’ve got a QB on a rookie deal to smooth out the hit on the void years.
