Could Derek Carr be a post-June 1 cut? (2 Viewers)

It would be better to keep him even if he is the number two guy. His cap hit would be easier and he is a great backup piece that becomes tradeable in the right situation.
It’s accurate when it says it’s cheaper to keep him but your not getting a better QB then him while we still have him or his cap hit.

At this point getting the best QB is not the main concern, it's removing the cap issues as fast as possible. Keeping him means pushing $20-25M of his base salary into future years which is not cheaper. Considering the Saints cap situation it is likely the most feasible route though.

We honestly need to do nothing, restructure nothing, be the worst team in the NFL next year, let these bad salaries clear

Preach!

You can do as many post June 1st cuts as you want. However you can only do two cuts prior to June 1st while having them count as post-June 1st.

If we cut Carr, his dead cap is $50 m. If we designate. him post June 1st, then its spread out over two years, we would save $25m.

You don't get that savings until June 1st!

Yes, we would have to restructure a few of the bigger contracts but I think we coudl swing it if we really wanted to

The chance Carr agrees to anything contract wise is next to zero.

He didn't budge for the Raiders, he's not budging for the Saints.

Carr is a middle tier starting quarterback. Carr is not the Saints problem. He is not the solution either. If you cut Carr you still have to draft or sign a QB. Too many other things need fixing.

"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem."

Was true for the Raiders and now true for the Saints.
