Elvis' 2025 cap and roster cleanup proposal

Anybody who agrees with this, I don't want to hear a peep from you during free agency. This brings us though the offseason with no cap room. So we aren't resigning Adebo. We aren't sign a guard or a DE. We aren't bringing in a QB for competition. Just vet min contracts all offseason.

They will restructure Carr. It gives you plenty of breathing room in 2025 and you still get a ton of cap space in 2026. Meanwhile your coach isn't hamstrung for an entire year.

Your idea is a cry out to tank making an unrealistic move to prove the point. They don't need to do that. 2026 has always been the rebuilding year. They aren't biting a bullet by cutting Carr his outs already setup with all the vets in 2026. Your just screwing over your coach for a year to make a point that doesn't need to be made.

I'm totally fine with singing no free agents. It's been more or less the plan for the last couple years other than a bad decision to sign Carr. We need to build this team through the draft to build a young core. Then, once we have that we can start adding some mid-level free agents and the very occasional impact free agent.

And it's not a tank. The only player really being cut is Carr and it's not like he's some guarantee of a winning season or the playoffs.
