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

I mean, it's not like they are mortgaging the future to keep Carr around 1 more year, unless I'm missing something.....But I totally get what you are saying....
Every dollar pushed into a future year is a mortgage to some degree. We can either take as many lumps this year as possible and take less lumps next year or we can split them up and take the same amount of lumps both years. I'd rather just do as much at once right away so the next coach doesn't have to be burdened with the last coaches players that they may not want. But like St. Widge has been saying all along that the next coach should make those decisions.
