I’d rather have him than Dak Prescott.

It will cost them about 5.6 million to cut him

Carr’s extension only had $5.6M in signing bonuses. That’s the only dead money if he’s waived.

There are better strains of grass.

Terrible grass. It won’t be used again.

I'd join the Jets if I was him. So much talent they just need a QB. He'd be like Testaverde when he played with them could see them making the playoffs and winning some games.

Pretty much. He’s not a bad quarterback, just a bad fit for the team. But foolish is in the Davis blood so I chuckled when I read this.

Because the perfect time to try something new is the Super Bowl

This was one of the worst fields I have ever had the displeasure of viewing people play on. The number of times people fell over because they couldn’t get their footing is ridiculous. Whatever research was done wasn’t thorough enough, and whoever led the research team and approved the funding should be forced to run across that field while it’s wet with flat footed shoes. I hope it’s never used again

In this case, the team can either trade him to get something, or lose him for nothing, since Carr is going to leave the team one way or another.
In general, teams would make a trade because each side of the trade fits a need. For example a team that's rebuilding may trade a high value player for a lot of draft picks to a team trying to win the championship. Or a team strong at one position trading with another to strengthen a different position.
A player would always benefit from being a free agent rather than a trade, so it's rare for a player to want to be traded. If a player is a free agent, they can choose a team and negotiate a new contract. If they're traded, they have no say to who, and their existing contract stays. (In this case, Carr has a "no trade" clause in his contract, so he can say no).

I agree with him. Why would he weaken the team he is going to by making them give something to the Raiders in a trade for him when he’ll be a free agent?
Plus, requiring a trade likely reduces the number of teams he can go to and all negotiations have to start with the Raiders.
Just wait, make them waive you, and then you can negotiate with every team out there.

You might end up being right but it’s not a zero percent chance. That’s a stupid thing to say.

He will be franchise tagged if no deal is reached. Absolutely zero percent chance he leaves Seattle next year

Colts said they want to draft someone. I wouldn't be too worried.

As a final.fu to a team that threw him under the bus.

Feel bad for whatever team brings him on, in hopes of success… the guy simply loses
