Saints could get to $14.61 million under the cap without restructuring Derek Carr, after Saints salary cap potentially increases by $5M

Some good ideas, but I’m really against mortgaging 2026 any more than we have to. Ideally I’d like to see Carr traded. That would give us the best way out. I’m less about the Carr hate, and more about how that’s a giant butt load of cash that could be cleared off the books, then that allows for some wiggle room to push less into future years. I don’t want to see a young up and coming coach hamstrung by the old players any longer than he has to be. Clear it out as quick as possible, take the lumps and let him build his team asap
