The Broncos are paying Russel Wilson 40 million a year.Carr is objectively better than Russ over the course of five years. Derrick Carr is the definition of replacement level but that disregards the guys he is significantly better than. Which is half the league.

Russ looked fine last 3 games of the season with Rosburg as interim HC. Keep in mind a lot of the games we played were close losses. Russ will bounce back with Payton, Hackett was a TERRIBLE HC.

His contract was extended last offseason so he actually has three years left. A trade benefits Carr in that he would continue to be paid under the current contract which is like $35M next year and over $40M for each of the last two. I suspect the price was too high hence the negotiations with the Saints. He becomes a free agent only if the Raiders release him. Carr might not get as much in a new contract put he was highly motivated to fuck over the Raiders.

Dude… he’s falling on the sword.. if you watch the highlight and honestly think it hindered the play in any way you’re crazy. I usually agree that a foul is a foul. But that shit gave them the auto 1st down and won them the game by letting them run out the clock. Play was dead before any flag was even thrown

Except he did hold, and admitted it, so clearly not a bogus call. Maybe a soft call, but not a bogus call. Also the replay doesn’t show the earlier contact that occurred, he essentially held him twice.

Also, if we’re talking about shitty calls how about the refs overturning the complete pass that led to a fumble recovery and touchdown for the chiefs? I’d say that was a questionable one to overturn as well, the player stabilized the ball and turned his body, making a football move, before being hit.

It works both ways.

And give them an excuse to void the contract and lose out on 40 million bucks? Just go out there on opening day and start chucking some INTs. That'll solve the playing for them problem without losing a single dollar.

Wtf are you talking about. The jersey grab barley slowed him down and the ball was overthrown by 20 feet. Bogus call and blew the game. Not saying the eagles would do have won but it just stopped all play and let KC just walk away with it. I’m not saying shit is rigged but that was a terrible call
