Should Rattler be our starter in 2025? (merged)

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 would push 30 mil back to next year and his void years. But it’s much easier to move on next year than this year. Right now it’s 28mil hit for next year. I think it goes up to 35 after the restructure.

It’s easy to say just eat it now but we have to come up with another 30 mil in cuts/restructures (63 mil total) somewhere else to do that. Then we have to spend more money signing another QB.

As of right now we are 63 mil over the cap this year and 52 under for next year. That will change but we’re going to be in much better shape next year.

Also there’s a good chance our next coach has a higher opinion of Carr than people on this message board.
