This hurts us because Carr's trade value goes down. Any slight chance that we had to trade him just decreased significantly. Which QB would you rather trade for if you were the Jets, Giants, Raiders, etc?
I would definitely take Carr for the 5th rounder it would likely cost over Stafford for a 1st. The money owed to them is comparable, and with Carr you don’t have to worry about him retiring in a season.
