What player says yes to this question? How many players even get asked this question?

Does say he is willing to restructure. Maybe that would be helpful enough.

If it keeps him here longer then please no. Nothing against him but he’s not taking us to the promised land and he isn’t the future imo.

Yes he is. He actually doesn’t have a lot of sway in that since restructure rights are essentially written into the contract from the team side.

I will never fault a player for taking as much money for as long as possible. It’s not their fault the team paid them the contracts that they did, and the teams will only look out for the team’s interest, so why shouldn’t the player only look out for their own?

But he does say he would absolutely restructure to help the team

Time to take it on the chin and get right for 2026. Carr doesn't change the trajectory of the team going forward. He's become fragile and doesn't play well behind a leaky O Line. It does us no good to keep him. It may force us to make some other bad decisions, but that's where we are.

Does that really help the team tho? Think it’s in their best interest to take their medicine and move on as soon as possible.
