Not only are you giving up some of the draft capital you gained via giving away Burrow, you're also paying Carr $4.5 million more (cap hit) than Dalton, and roughly $14 million more than we'd be paying Burrow on a team friendly rookie deal (based on Kyler Murray's contract from last season).Carr was a top 10 QB last season in most categories and if the Raiders sign Brady then you can probably get him for a 3rd Rd pick.
A smart team cuts/trades dead weight like Dalton/Glenn/Kirkpatrick, fills some holes via FA and the other 6+ draft picks we have, and takes the top QB prospect we've had the opportunity to take since Palmer. Having Burrow on a cheap rookie contract only helps that.
Any Trade for Burrow would result in a huge gain so the loss of a 3rd would be minimal damage.
This team doesn't spend in free agency so getting a ton of early draft picks + a good QB over a great QB with minimal draft capital + minimal free agents.
