Carr's contract one of the lower ones compared to other veteran starters not on a rookie contract. It was either gonna be him or someone else getting that contract. His contract isn't remotely why the team isn't cap healthy. It's a product of years of Loomis' approach to salary cap management.
Carr's salary is backended which complicates a rebuild enormously. We can't get out of his contract as it was designed to create salary cap space in the present.
If we wanted an out. We can't move him. He already has a voidcut dead cap salary at $22 million.
