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.

It’s not the cap style itself; there’s gotta be a consequence to signing a player to a contract as large as Carr’s then coming to regret it, especially when you do so at a time we didn’t have “cap dollars.”

Teams are moving on from quarterbacks and other highly paid players and suffering the same fate…a large cap hit.

When we signed him, we didn’t have the money and had to borrow from the future…you can’t just get off scot free from that.

Anytime you sign a player to a huge 100+ million dollar deal and regret it, you pay a harsh consequence to rid yourself of it, regardless of how you manage the cap.

The acquisition of the wrong player at a super high cost is the problem, not the cap spreadsheet.
