Reply to comment by ATLL2112 in [Rapoport] Sources: Raiders QB Derek Carr has informed the team he won’t accept a trade to the Saints or any other team. The team is expected to release him and he’ll be a top free agent. by BCLetsRide69

I think we are close to agreement. I’m just pissed he’s getting elite money when he can’t carry a team.

With the talent Dallas has had it could move Carr up from a middle third guy.

I’d like to see Zeke work out a new deal and stay as a back with the role he had at the end of the season.

I don't think so. It's not like Vegas was bereft of talent at WR Adams, Renfrow, Waller, Jacobs. I get that were hurt a lot this year, but he had talent around him.

I'm not arguing Dak is a world beater, but if we're picking teams in the schoolyard, I'm taking Dak every single time.

Dak's deal might be slightly above market rate, but it's not outrageous. He's getting $44.2m next year.

Kirk Cousins is getting $36.25.

Carr is due $40m unless he goes FA and signs for less, but I think he gets at least $30m.

There's almost no one below Dak's AAV that I'm taking over him that isn't on a rookie contract. Cousins might be the only one and that's debatable.

I definitely wouldn’t want Cousins!

Dak isn’t good enough to win a super bowl because he makes too many unforced mistakes.

Where do you think Carr will end up?

If I'm him, I want to go to TB, NYJ, NO, maybe WAS but I they claim to not be looking for a QB. Somewhere that isn't in a full rebuild and has some talent on offense.

I'd want to stay away from Carolina, Indy, Atlanta. Places that need to blow up the whole team.
