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.
