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.
In my scenario I cut only 5 players. Carr, Jordan, Ramczyk, Jamal Williams and Cedrick Wilson. One is retiring, two are under performing, and the other two are to clear cap space. And I left the team with $42 million in cap space on June 1 to formalize free agent and rookie contracts in 2025. Players agreeing to terms and not signing immediately while cap maneuvers play out isn't unusual.

And contrary to your belief, restructuring Carr in 2025 will NOT "still get a ton of cap space in 2026". If fully restructured he would be a $65 million cap hit to keep or $56 million to cut in 2026.

And why put off rebuilding to 2026 when you have a new staff coming in in 2025. That makes no sense.
