Pat Kirwan said he heard Carr didn’t want to do Saints contract restructure (169 Viewers)

Apologies if this is old news, but just now on Movin the Chains Kirwan said Carr’s agents had to read him the part of his contract that stated the Saints could restructure it any way they choose. He didn’t know that was in his contract. Does anyone know why Carr would oppose this restructuring, unless it had to do with him not wanting to be on the team?

Definitely think he would rather be released, get his money, and a shot at landing on a team needing a qb that would sign him to a multi year deal with fans that don't bash him. Also think this could lead to a qb pick in the draft because if not we'll be one of those teams signing Derek 2.0 for $40 mil per year.

Hmmm....Albert Breer may have been onto something.

Restructuring adds time to a contract. It’s clear Carr probably isn’t thrilled about staying any longer than he has to - I mean, it’s not like he’s felt an outpouring of love from the city or the fan base.

I thought his contract was for 2 more years regardless.

Reminds of Mike Florio of PFT saying there’s a small chance the Saints still trade Carr after the draft.

Where might that be

No, but players shouldn't be mad bc they are getting money turned into a bonus upfront, sort getting as much guarantee money as possible. Also, a few years back, Underhill had stated, all players of the Saints, contracts have these restructures written in the contracts, so the Saints don't have to ask for permission.

Good info. Thanks.

How could Carr not know this? This isn’t the first time he’s had his contract restructured.

This is standard in every player’s contract.

Makes no sense.

Yeah I don't blame him for wanting out.

Makes it weird now though.

 

[Nolan]

We sure did really show him.

 

[Hubig]

I'm sure this is gonna go over really well with his teammates that he has to play with this season. They're probably texting like crazy about these kinda rumors.

 

[Randy Jones]

He’d have to approve any trade deal and cap hit would be atrocious. I would suggest strongly that he is not a homer by any stretch. However, how many NFL players are? Its all “Show me the money” of course.

 

[RaisingTheBar]

Didn’t he tell Kat months ago that he’d have no problems with restructure it was pay cut he wouldn’t entertain?
