If Carr was really leaning towards the Jets, there should be reports of the Jets offering a contract and close to signing. He shouldn’t even have to lean towards them. He could just outright sign with them and avoid the drama for this long. Jets and Carr doesn’t appear to be close on a contract, just public negotiation tactics.
It could be the word “lean” means that their website hits and views have dipped lately. It’s time to throw a word out there that he cannot deny is false. Everyone leans. :)
