Ross Jackson explores a Carr trade to Giants [ESPN NFL Nation Giants reporter Jordan Raanan says Derek Carr could be a trade option for Giants]

The kicking the can is how we signed him in the first place though. We couldn’t sign him otherwise.

Sure, we NOW know we shouldn’t have done it, but at the time, that was the only way to execute the deal that the football side wanted.
And that changes what I said how? It was a bad contract that should never have been given out in the first place. Many of us knew that then and the habit of giving coaches everything they want despite not being able to afford it hasn't worked out very well since it started with Payton. But at least back then we had Brees. You're just making my case for me at this point.
