re: Derek Carr seeking $35M or more per year in free agent contract

You should do some research first before laughing.

The 17th highest paid qb in 2022 was our very own Crab legs making 15.2 million.

The 18th was Tom Brady making 15 million. Jimmy G was next making 10. That’s smack in the middle of 32 teams, that means almost half had starters that made less than 10 million last year.

What was their average cap hit?

Brady's "15M" doesn't take into account all the other money he had already been paid. That's why his cap hit this year is $35M.

That $35M in dead cap means he was paid $35M more than what the Bucs had accounted for in their cap hits. This includes his base salaries (like what the article used).

Look at the article:

Literally a worthless ranking.
