Is Rattler your guy next year?

SWJJ said

I'm not a "cap guru" but wouldn't restructuring Carr's contract mean keeping him another year (or having more dead money after he is gone)?

If so I just say pay him to be the starter next year and then let him walk/retire.

Stop kicking the can, eat the bad contracts.

It wouldn't mean keeping him another year past next year if we don't want to, but it would mean more dead cap when he leaves. The problem is that there may not be any other option but to restructure him this year in order to get under the cap. I think Tripplet had a way to do it in theory, but he didn't even seem sure it was possible, and I think it required some guys to rework their deals and take less money. I mean, we have to get around $60 million off of the cap and there are only so many options to do that.
