It's the same reason we don't want to have $100 million tied up in a pair of elite runningbacks, or pay $100 million tied up along our interior offensive line.

Ya, we might want to rethink this... Carr would probably get 5-7mil a year and a top 10 QB would get 4-5mil a year. Say they get 7 and 5 per year... I really don't know how the Chiefs would spend the rest of that 18mil a year on backups...

Edit: forgot to add in Carr's current salary to that cap. So make that 20mil a year on backups.
