Prior to signing a QB, I posted price ranges for Carr of 25-30M and Dalton/Mayfield at 5M. I would have happily signed Dalton/Mayfield at 5M over Carr at 37M. Loomis added 20M worth of roster bonuses and a “no trade clause” that had zero reason to be on that deal. His fear was TB/NYJ signing Carr when he should have been looking for value and future cap flexibility.
Carr made 25M in cash from the Raiders his last year and we offered him 37M/yr. It was always an overpay. At least Carr is playing to his market value.
