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

I guess I’m confused. Why is there an argument that Carr will make us a mid level team? And if so why would we want that? At this point we are going to need to build through the draft and basically rebuild, so wouldn’t going with rattler or a FA be a better strategy for draft position the next couple years?

Carr isn’t taking us to a Super Bowl so arguing to keep him is arguing against success essentially because we will be mid pack no playoffs and no good draft position.
