Yes, you can argue he's not close in performance value for his salary, give or take some nice plays each year, but this...
is...
a...
BUSINESS DECISION.
If it happens.

Keeping Carr in the cap (even with potential restructure) and you gotta pay for it in other ways.

So you chop off Badger, take his cap space, and then ring it up....

I think my numbers are right, but if they are not, we know alot of people here who can correct or amend it.

I'd be in favor of cutting him. Great guy, generational LSU player even to non-LSU fans, but I'll take the benefit of getting younger and paying the dead cap bill sooner than later.
Michael Thomas. The gift that keeps on giving. Interesting that no one signed him this year. Got paid but didn't play much after he got that check.
