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

Seriously though…who would willingly take a pay cut? Especially when they have the leverage? A fool.


The same guy who brought Carr in and paid him (Loomis) is going to have to figure it out.

That’s how I’d look at it as well, if I was Carr.

Someone has to stand up to the mess that Loomis has made and force him to at least attempt to fix it. The last thing we need is players enabling his poor salary cap management further.

Taking a pay cut just helps Loomis keep “doing what he’s doing” - to borrow a phrase.
Joe Mixon took a pay cut, after a down year in 2022. Plus, he’s a RB, who took the pay cut after his 6th season, also after signing a 4 year $48 million dollar contract initially. I mean, RBs have a shorter shelf life, and they don’t see contracts the size that QBs do.
