A five year deal at $35 million average would be great. A vet minimum of $1.165 million first year and a $34 million signing bonus would work out to a 2023 cap hit of $7.965 million and should leave us about $20 million open cap for further free agency. Carr would go for that as he would have over $35 million in his pocket year one.

If this is accurate, then I’m good with going for Carr…especially if we can have that much cap available to spend afterwards. Then we could spend in FA including retaining our own valuable FAs. If we hit well in the draft on top of that I’ll be a happy camper. Ultimately I want to fill out this roster with quality players, and if we can do that and get Carr also, then great.
