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

But why would it be painful? We need upgrades at pretty much every position, we need to do that through the draft, the sooner we can take our lumps the better. Loomis is delusional in this approach that we are keeping the continuity from the old era, next season will be 5 years since the playoffs or being truly a competitive team, that’s half a decade with dwindling results and the same cap problems.

Carr isn’t the answer he was the last attempt from a lame duck head coach that is now fired. We are going to have to take our lumps for a couple season and close the old chapter for good. We can run from it for another two years if we want but it’s coming one way or the other.
I'm just saying take your salary cap lumps with Cam, maybe Taysom and Honey Badger and probably a few aging linemen and let Carr bridge that period. Cutting or trading Carr eats up too much cap, meaning you get stuck with all these aging vets aging another year or two on the roster. I think QB is toward the end of the rebuild.
