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

Jamal Wiilliams wasn't last year. Lets keep things in context. You, and many people here are saying Loomis needs to go for the type of changes that this organization needs to move forward. I'm presenting you with visible evidence that the pivot you're saying Loomis is incapable of doing, was actually indeed done last year. If I'm not mistaken 9million will be spread right? So that's a 4.5mil cap hit.

Even if not, it doesn't constitute the horrible contract's that we've been known to dole out, but you are squeezing the narrative so it fits. Again, we get a 3rd round pick out of the deal if he leaves. That's not "bad business" sir even if you want to make it that way so it supports your theory.

1. You brought up last year, I didn't. I was talking about Carr as well which obviously wasn't last year. So context was kept. You just tried to narrow it.

2. Young's cap hit will not be split, it's $9 million for 2025 and we are not guaranteed a 3rd round comp pick. Either way they gave $13 million to a guy whose last two teams didn't want.

3. I'm not squeezing any narratives and haven't been a big "fire Loomis" guy like many have been. But he is not doing what I am suggesting either. We don't need to keep signing free agents with a bunch of void years. That hurts the cap further. I'm talking about cheap true one or two year deals for promising players stuck behind entrenched starters on other teams. No void years, not signing bones pushed 5 years out. It's the only way to get the cap right and have the flexibility we need to get the roster set for a new coach.
