Could Derek Carr be a post-June 1 cut?

OTC's ideal plan involves moving some money around and cutting/retiring Mathieu, Jordan, Davis, and Ram while trying to see what can be done with Carr's contract. In a goldilocks situation he restructures in a way that gets him paid now but cut before the start of the 2025 season. This is probably a pipe dream and more likely we end up either hard ball cutting him if it's possible to get under the cap next year but more likely he's with us one more season and cut in 2026.

But if we could really get these 5 players and their salaries off the roster and stomach what will likely be incredibly bad 2025 and 2026 seasons, I think we'd be in a a position by 2027 to have the ghost of our bad contracts behind us and then we see if there's a nucleus of young talent from these next couple drafts to be able to get back to being competitive by 2027.
