Elvis' 2025 cap and roster cleanup proposal

We have resigned our own guys and found value free agents every year. We don't go into drafts with gapping holes. Not with this plan.

A 5th rd qb who couldn't play two quarters of football without falling apart and no competition. Yeah good thing you can't sign FAs I guess cause you ain't convincing anybody.

All this for no real benefit. The 26 numbers still work out about the same either way because you still have to push back that money somehow.

The rebuild is here whether you want it or not. There is no reason to wait until 2026 to do it and paying Carr a bunch of money for two years isn't going to help the rebuild. The benefit is moving up the rebuild for a year instead of spending another year with a likely below .500 record for another year. There is no benefit is waiting another year to do it and the only real cut is Carr which would allow us to find out what we have in Rattler. If he's good, the QB problem solved. If he's not then we know we need to draft a QB high in 2026 and we will draft high if Rattler isn't good and we need to move on.

So, the benefit is that we get into the rebuild now instead of wasting a year where you aren't going to be good anyway. And you basically have the same very low chance of being good this year without Carr. It's not like has has a long history of winning season here or anywhere else.

And we had gaping holes in the draft for the last several years.
