Derek Carr’s rumored price is cheaper than expected for NY Jets

Death, taxes, and another report about the NFL quarterback market.

That’s been the daily and sometimes hourly reality for the start of the 2023 offseason, especially for New York Jets fans.

Recently, Diana Russini of ESPN reported that Derek Carr is seeking $35 million per year or more for his next contract. That seems about in line with what was expected; in fact, $40 million was thrown out quite regularly, so $35 million seemed like somewhat of a bargain.

However, according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, Carr may not actually command even that $35 million.
