Underhill: I think everyone involved knows Carr cannot play this year at his current salary

Carr would absolutely take a pay cut, IF by doing so, would heal his reputation amongst the fans. Unfortunately he could take a 10mil pay cut and the fans will still dislike him. They'll say, "Carr trying to buy fan support, how terrible ..." He'd probably take a pay cut if the fans supported him and if we were only a couple players away from competing.

At this point I think it's very likely that Carr and the Saints understand this is a short term business deal. It likely has no bearing on a future relationship with the team/city. Considering how he's been received here, he likely wants to move on just as bad as some fans want him to. Also, knowing it's more than likely a short term commitment, it will mean he has to learn 2 new offenses in the next 2 years. Ideally, I'm sure he'd like to be playing for a team (this coming season) where he thought he might have some longevity.
