Plus if we go Burrow  number 1 ,two QB needy teams will probably draft Tua and Herbert in round 1 which takes them out of the QB market. Plus teams know we need to get rid of Dalton because there’s no way we’re paying Dalton $17.5 million as a backup.

Well for Brady, supposedly the Raiders are very interested, so that would put Carr on the market for trade as well, whom I consider a tad bit better than AD.

But Carr is under contract til 2022 ends:
Derek Carr signed a 5 year, $125,000,000 contract with the Oakland Raiders, including a $12,500,000 signing bonus, $70,200,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $25,000,000. In 2020, Carr will earn a base salary of $18,900,000 and a workout bonus of $100,000, while carrying a cap hit of $21,500,000 and a dead cap value of $7,900,000.

2021 would be the better season for the Raiders to move him, as dead cap is only $2.9 mil. So to me unless Brady just does a 1 year deal, then I don't think the Raiders are really going to make a move for him. It's all JG dreaming and media outlets making useless noise.

Prescott? Cowboys will take care of him. JJ takes care of his QB's, just like MB does.

Brady will stay in NE (he doesn't need the money and he's always giving NE and friendly deal, so more of the same).
Brees won't go anywhere, he will stay in NO.

Rivers will be available, but his age is a factor and I think personally he would retire before going to any team that is not on the West Coast and close to his home/Family in San Diego.
