Article about Carr possibly being let go in 2025 offseason {Nov. 17th Article bumped}

Carr is going to end up restructured because we need the salary cap relief. Cutting him, we take a huge hit.

Never mind that we need him as a bridge and any new coach is going to want options.

I agree he will be restructured but there is some cap savings on letting him go. Releasing him saves $1.3M and a trade before the league year starts saves $11.3M. The problem is that either case would add $40.1M in dead money to the $48.4M the team has next year. The $48.4 is from Lattimore, Thomas, and Winston.

Edit: It looks like if they do a max restructure the team can save $31M against next years cap.
