I listened to the explanation of Mike Triplett about Carr's salary and the possibility to be cut this year.

To cut Carr, and absorb the cap hit, we would need to re-negotiate almost every single contract of other players. These extensions will slow down the process of rejuvenating the process.

Carr right now is willing to modify his contract, but not to take a pay cut. He also has a no trade clause.

For that reason, I think Carr will stay for 2025, and most likely, to be cut in 2026, when the cap hit is manageable.

This is the problem of how we have been managing the cap, we don't have flexibility to move the best way possible. We are constrained to move according to what we can afford.

It seems we made the right move by hiring the coach, I hope this trends continues and we change the way we draft and the way we handle our money.

I've already outlined in another thread how it's possible to move on from Carr, have cap money available in June and be clear of ALL of the bad contracts by next spring. The restructures aren't that severe when taking into account many of the largest ones are for good players that are under contract for several years. The mid-sized ones are for the older vets and get taken care of next year by the savings gained from Carr not being on the roster. It is not as hard as it appears on paper, but you have to be ok with the team not making any significant moves between March and June. I and many others are willing to accept that in order for things to be cleaned up for the future. Others are not.
