For this trade, cap penalties should be minimal if he's just trading Carr. Most of Carr's contract will incur a cap penalty, but he's getting paid peanuts, so it won't make much of an impact. The guy trading Harris Jr and Anderson has cap penalties to worry about.

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but once he gets Harris Jr and Anderson, wouldn't he be able to trade them without incurring any additional cap penalties because he wouldn't have paid them any signing bonuses that get accelerated onto his cap (i.e. they will only have nonguaranteed salary left on their deals once the Broncos get rid of them)

I would take the deal in a second. Harris is a great CB and you can use any QB and win. Myself I don't even care about Anderson, he doesn't impress me. I'm a Broncos fan and use them in Madden, so I know what both can do. I don't know why the other guy would want Carr anyways, the Broncos have a couple of good Qb's.

I didn't consider this part. I honestly don't know, I just assumed there was a cap penalty on each player, even if you traded for them.

i do that too.

also when a player reaches his fourth season, if he's not reached 83 OVR, i knock him down to allow for that team to draft someone new.

you are correct Spy

Depends on you mostly I think. If you are fine using a backup or if you are in the offseason and can just draft a QB immediately...might as well take the trade. Perhaps try to see if you can snag a draft pick or another midtier position that you do need instead of CJ Andersen. For example...if you typically control an OLB on defense...see if he has a backup that is young and fits your prototype of players that you control that you can build up but he might not value as much and would be willing to part with.

In a situation like that...you would get a top tier corner and a midlevel player at a position you value that you could build up into a beast.
