I don't think it would be best for me, Carr said Thursday ahead of the Pro Bowl games, via The Associated Press.

The February 15 deadline marks the date in which the $40.4 million injury guarantee becomes fully guaranteed.

[{"selector":"#anim-974dc826-762e-4bad-b70d-9f789ab200b4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-27b0f5f7-9d65-48ff-aee4-31b05762900f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 147.52217%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Tilted Brush Stroke Image Credit : By Getty

Can they agree to a trade before the deadline? Do they cut Carr before the deadline to avoid those guarantees?

[{"selector":"#anim-6d11f0c8-ecf3-439b-95f5-24510fd644b5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-20c92d8d-8259-43a7-8012-672faa5bb6cf","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 147.52217%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Tilted Brush Stroke Image Credit : By Getty

As the deadline approaches, the time crunch makes trading more difficult.

Cutting Carr avoids the big guarantee but it also means Vegas will get nothing in exchange for giving up the QB.

[{"selector":"#anim-5fe7ba1b-f263-4756-8a66-1202a16ffbbc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dc5d9994-6004-4774-bc3c-3ddfe756adc7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 147.05269%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Tilted Brush Stroke Image Credit : By Getty

It's a $40 million gamble of its own, sitting on its own in trying to see what moves along the way.

Carr told NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe that he is still going through all the scenarios.

I'm just being patient, he said. "I'm going to do what's best for me.
