Derek Carr won’t take a pay cut for 2025 but willing to restructure to help the cap

Does say he is willing to restructure. Maybe that would be helpful enough.
They mostly all would restructure. They get more of their money now. Restructuring helps the team now, but hurts the player in no way. It hurts the team in later years though once the player is gone and you are still counting money for him, ex. Jameis Winston
