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

It's unrealistic to expect Carr to be cut. Everyone crying for it might as well cry that they need to win the lotto. It's making this place insufferable, get real.

I don't expect Carr to be cut just because it is so much money it makes zero sense, plus there isn't a work around to get away from it. You can restructure and then hopefully we have someone that can push him into a 2 spot and if not, you go with the veteran you are paying. Hopefully we have someone who can push Carr, whether it is Rattler or another QB that the new staff brings in having Carr pushed into a 2 spot would be nice even if he were to be overpaid as a backup but around here a backup is just as valuable as a starter.

Carr is the short-term answer as his age dictates that and his overall career has shown us. I am ready for a young QB to come in and grab the starting job and where that QB comes from doesn't matter. At the moment we are tied to him for 2025 that's a fact.
