Daniel Jones and Derek Carr have been on opposite sides of 23 real dynasty trades.
Not simulations and not a calculator lining up two numbers. Every one of them is a completed trade from a public Sleeper league, graded at the player values that were current on the day it happened.
None of them were a straight one-for-one. Every time these two crossed, something else was attached to close it.
This is the part a calculator cannot tell you. In 7 of these deals exactly one side had to attach something extra, and 4 of those 7 times it was the Derek Carr side (3 the other way). The side that keeps having to add is the side holding the lesser asset, so the market has been treating Daniel Jones as the more valuable of the two.

Read each row as: Daniel Jones, plus anything in the third column, was traded for Derek Carr plus anything in the fourth. An em dash means that side sent nobody else. Margin is the value gap at that day’s prices from the side that received Daniel Jones; positive means that side came out ahead.
Across all 23, the whole-deal value gap runs +13.3% from the side that received Daniel Jones, so the side ending up with Daniel Jones has generally come out ahead on face value. That measures the entire trade, every piece included, not these two players against each other.
A calculator answers “is Daniel Jones for Derek Carr fair” by subtracting one number from another, and it gives every manager in your league the same answer. That tells you nothing about whether the trade closes. What closes it is whether one side has to attach a piece, and which side that usually is. The 23 deals above are the record of what leagues actually agreed to when these two were on the table together.
