I see that there's an out in the contract after this season with only $7.5M in dead cap money. Still, that would be a pretty ballsy move to cut bait on him after this season. If they legitimately believe he'll never recover from the injury that's one thing, but it would put a big dent in Gruden's rep as a QB whisperer to cut a guy the franchise gave one of the biggest contracts in NFL history to only two years ago. Also, Carr does suck up to Gruden in all his public comments, and Gruden never gives Carr much blame, so you'd think that he's still got plenty of rope.
I think the guy they might trade is Cooper.
