That's before another easy $10 million freed up by cutting Mariotta. A likely cut/restructure for Grady Jarret and they could either trade/cut Matthews and free up quite a bit more (upwards of $20 million depending on how they do it).
No, the Chiefs aren't gonna pay $40 million for a backup. But would Atlanta pay $33 million for a starter? Why the hell not? You give them Carr this year and they win the south. And with Brady gone next season, put Carr on that squad and it's almost a foregone conclusion.
Why wouldn't they pay that?

God...that Mariotta experiment made no ****ing sense. And it made even less sense when they stuck with him at the end of the year. Ridder should have been in at the halfway point. See what the **** he has FFS.
