The undesirable but most likely reality.

DA was clearly the driving force behind the Derek Carr signing. And that is a big part of our current cap situation. He's a solid QB but it didn't really make sense to add him to this roster for that kind of money and kicking the can to do it. It would have made more sense to sign a cheaper stop gap and keep drafting young QBs until you find the right one.

Well we tried to get Deshaun Watson. Thank god we didn’t. I think we just went to the next best guy (a better, cheaper guy as it turns out). He happened to have a relationship with DA. But I think we would’ve signed him either way.
