I hope not as well, but I unfortunately think we have a restructure coming that means Carr is on our books for years to come, even if he isn't on our team. My reasoning:
Carr and his people are shrewd. Wouldn't allow Vegas to receive trade compensation, drug out the FA process between NO and NYJ, and also has stated very strongly in a recent interview that he won't be taking a pay cut.
Combine that with Loomis basically giving away any leverage we might have had by pretty much saying Carr's our guy in 2025. Based on these circumstances, if you're Derek Carr, why would you entertain a pay cut?
