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

Carr doesn't care about healing his reputation, fan support or helping the team win. He cares about his bank account, as he should. This is his job, not some charity. If he takes a pay cut it's because he was presented with an ultimatum and he and his agent figured out the math.
If I'm him I care about my reputation, not with the fans but in the league. He's never won a playoff game. I'm doing whatever I can to get to the playoffs. He's made just shy of $200 million in his career. If it's me in his shoes I'm taking a $15 million cut and saying go get me a LG and a possession WR. He's a prideful guy, having a reputation as a career loser has to suck. Just one playoff win would make a world of difference for him.
