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

What gets you askew is paying what it takes to get the 14th best qb (if that's truly where Carr is)

I have him in the 10-12 range, but that's a debate for a different day.

What's funny about a lot of the comments about $35M being too much, is that would actually put him at 8th highest paid QB for 2023. And that is before Lamar, Burrow (rumor is they are working on a new deal), Garoppolo, Daniel Jones all get their new deals. Jimmy G & Jones may not land over $35M, but they will be in the discussion.

To be the 14th highest QB, after the above 4 deals are done, would have his cap hit around $30M
