Only hope is if a starter gets injured.

Wasn't that always sort of the game plan for a possible return for him? I don't think any team is going to go in the draft with a player like Carr as their plan for a starting QB. A lot of the teams needing a QB will definitely wait until after the draft to put in resources for an aging vet, and most of those teams would fit the "I'm not playing for them" category.

Edit: Just noticed the article is at least 2 weeks old. And while I don't expect anything to have happened before the draft; any QB needy teams looking to fill spots before the draft were probably looking at free agents that would not require them to give up assets AND pay a significant salary

I think Minny woukd have been the ideal spot for him. But why pay Carr 30+ million or whatever when you can get Kyler on your roster and it will only count for 1.3.

That’s what killed his market, you had three former starting qbs this year you could sign for 1.3 million. QBs that were all making 30-40 million a year.

I think Raiders and possibly the Steelers, depending on Rodgers, are his only option unless a team loses its starting qb in pre season to injury.

I think Raiders are out, because they'll want to focus more on Mendoza's development and will want a veteran to help him along through his development. Carr seems like the type that will be "it's not my job to develop someone to take my position. I'm here to win..."

Not sure why I feel that way

Yeah the Kirk Cousins and Rodgers dominoes need to fall, Kirk because he’s so cheap and Rodgers because it’s a logical place to stay.

Raiders right now look like the best spot but we’ll see. He may have to wait for the camp-October injury panic

I agree with you on that assessment.

Forgot all about Cousins, that’s 4 this year you could sign for a million. Usually good backup qbs go for 7-9. Rattler will be on the books for about the same price as all of them.

Without clicking the link, I hope they mention how they’ll possibly get some interest post-draft.
