It's surprising to me if the Titans are interested in Derek Carr when they already have Ryan Tannehill. I would take Tannehill over Carr any day. Perhaps it has something to do with Tannehill's salary situation and how it affects Tennessee's salary cap. I found this re Tannehill: "In 2023, Tannehill will earn a base salary of $27,000,000, while carrying a cap hit of $36,600,000 and a dead cap value of $18,800,000." That still seems cheaper than what Carr is likely to command on the open market. Age is another possible factor as Tannehill will be 35 this upcoming season while Carr will be 32, but that's not a large age difference. I feel sorry for whoever is Tennessee's QB this season what with the team's terrible receivers and poor offensive line.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports Derek Carr is visiting the Jets over the weekend.
Carr was released by the Raiders earlier this week. In addition to the Jets, the Saints, Panthers, and Titans have all been linked to Carr through different reports. New York would be a strong landing spot for the veteran quarterback. The Jets have a strong cast of weapons on offense and a shutdown defense. Mike White also showed that even below-average quarterback play was enough to make the team a playoff contender. Landing Carr would be a win for the Jets, though they are also rumored to be in the running to trade for Aaron Rodgers.
