IMO, the question is whether a team offers a 4th or if a 5th will do it.

Yeah, I didn't realize his salary was so prohibitive for LV. I don't think they can afford for him to come back to be honest, and if Carr gets hurt they could end up paying him at an even higher premium.
They'll probably end up taking a later round pick for him or just releasing him and promoting Peterman.
The smart move to me would be for them to take what they can get sooner rather than later, before teams begin to fill their needs with other options.
