Carr wanted to be traded prior to restructure per NOF and CBSsports

Agree. Something doesn’t seem right here.

Carr comes off as pretty unreasonable if he wanted a trade AND refused to help the team facilitate it.

And the team equally looks unreasonably stubborn if they decided to restructure simply to force him to stay against his wishes.

Maybe the team felt (through conversations) they couldn’t get a decent return (or any return) unless they ate more $? But something isn’t adding up.

The Saints simply had to re-structure him if they wanted to do anything in FA. So it's not about being unreasonable, it was the only option available.

Trading/release, doesn't matter really because the cap hit until June 1st was too big for us.
