I will answer yours, please return the favor regarding my previous questions.

Derek Carr is due $40 million in 2025 and $50 million in 2026. His wins in 2023 came against the league wide GOAT Franchise QB stars Ryan Tannehill, Bryce Young, Mac Jones, Garrett Minshew, Tyson Bagent, and Tommy Devito while he was 1-1 against Baker Mayfield and Desmond Ridder. The world where Derek Carr has silenced all his critics and is definitely the player who is bringing us super bowl glory worthy of $40-$50 million dollar future salaries is a ridiculous fantasy that does not exist. Every sane person who follows the NFL is well aware that this should be a make or break year for Carr in New Orleans and that he is very much 100% at a similar point in his career to players like Russell Wilson, Alex Smith, Garappalo, Wentz, Ryan, etc whose teams wisely moved on. We would want the option to exit the contract of our 'franchise quarterback' because it is not remotely clear that he can ever be a franchise quarterback, he is ranked ranked in the bottom half of quarterbacks in the league in the vast majority of rankings, and another NFL franchise went out of its way to exit his contract just under 12 months ago. I hope he has a good season, but in the real world if you want to survive you hope for the best and plan for the worst.
