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

I brought up Raider fans because there is a pattern. I’ll leave it up to you to find it but it’s obvious.

Restructure is kicking a can down the road and usually the player gets a bigger payday at the back end of the deal. Derek loves his money and rightfully so but offering to restructure isn’t some heartfelt sacrifice…..it’s an investment.

Saints save a lot of money if Carr is cut before the new league year begins but yes, his replacement isn’t on the team yet but Carr is not carrying anybody to the big show anyway so why not rip the bandaid off and start over. Carr is the definition of QB purgatory
Not sure where you are getting that. They save nothing by cutting Carr, then would have to restructure the entire team even to attempt to be cap compliant.

This has nothing about being pro or anti Carr. His out is 2026 and they will restructure him. It is what it is.
