Thought Excercise: Which QB gets the nod with Moore or Kafka

So, the question is do you leave it untouched and cut him and then draft a QB for less $$ and start Rattler or the rookie?

If it were me, I'd do everything that it took to cut him and play Rattler or a Rookie. That would still require moving some bad money around and probably losing a few mid tier players. But continuing to have Carr be a $50 cap hit this year and then another $28m next year seems crazy to me.

I think one mechanism that could work is converting some players base salary to option bonuses that trigger after June 1 and then we could designate Carr a June 1 cut to spread out his cap hit and still have room to not make all of the other contracts horrible for future years.
