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.

And part of that issue is all of the decent FAs will be signed elsewhere , including our own. Plus we won't be able to sign even our rookie class in till a month after the draft making them unable to attend rookie mini camp. So that 30. mil we get post 6/1 will be of little value except maybe for next yr

You should watch Underhill's Nickcast from today. He thinks that restructuring Carr's contract this yr and not touching Mathieu, DD, and Hill is the better way to go. It gives us like 31 mi under the cap this yr
