Cap Implications of Keeping and Cutting Derek Carr

It's a misconception that cutting Carr is needed to get the cap in order. Restructuring him is actually the most financially prudent move. Being so tight against the cap it just works out that way. 2026 is the year it makes sense. Thats the full reset year.

If 2026 is the full reset year, why do we even need to spend any money in 2025? Why wouldn't we just get a 1 year head start on the reset and have cleaner books in 2027 and beyond? I just don't understand the thinking behind "lets do stuff in 2025" if 2026 is when you theoretically want to full reset anyway.
