Reply to comment by bigmattson 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

Yeah, seriously.

This is something I always wonder about with teams that aren’t already stacked going out and trading for a 1st or 2nd tier QB. That QB has to realize that between his cap hit and the assets his new team is giving up, they’re going to be limited in their ability to build the team around them. It’s one thing if you’re a Rodgers type that’s going to play another year or two and ride off into the sunset, because you don’t care about those draft picks nearly as much, but if you’re Carr, why would you choose to handcuff your new team even more?
