That Derek Carr Contract is Looking Pretty Brilliant Now

I put his value at 25-30M before we signed him. His 37.5M contract is reasonable value compared to his rank and other QBs contracts. It's less appealing because we tend to restructure and payout every penny. If he is on the roster for 2026 at 50M or we extend and kick that 50M, then it will be a bad contract. I think Baker Mayfield is a better QB on a better contract (4M in 2023 and 33m/yr now) and would have helped solve our cap issues more quickly.

Carr was terrible in the Carolina game. Bad pre-snap, post-snap, footwork, pocket awareness. The only thing he did good was get the ball out quickly. If he plays like that the remainder of the season, then his contract is terrible.
Not gonna make excuses, but, I wonder if him not being 100%, plus the general state of the team being a mess affected his play.

With the coaching change and his health being a bit better next game, would his play improve enough to justify keeping him on.
