Re: I'd like to try and get Derek Carr
Yes, the cap is going to skyrocket but I would rather not spend that money on a veteran who will give us two or three years maybe, but is already past his prime. I would rather draft a young quarterback and put these resources into building a better team for him to succeed. I understand that any quarterback that is available will need time to develop behind a stop Gap veteran.
