They literally cannot do anything about it. We are $80 million over the cap already and getting rid of him would add $40-$50 million more. It's not happening.

Getting rid of him outright in the offseason would save about $1m, but we likely need the $31m in cap relief we can get by restructuring his contract. That’s what really keeps him around, same as any other player who has had non-guaranteed dollars converted to a restructuring bonus these last few years.

If he wants to help the team then he needs to restructure. You cant be mad at him for wanting his either, even if I am not a fan at all of this guy. Looking at all these contracts makes me feel like this is some April Fool's joke. You keep telling yourself nobody really made these offers then you realize we have a Loomis.

I know what you're saying. We can save $1 million because we'd be simply trading taking the hit for the prorated bonuses instead of his base. But his base was never going to stay at $30 million. There is no way to get under the cap and get rid of him. His continued cap number kicking is part of the 5 year plan. He is locked here.

It can be done. They would need to do it before anymore guaranteed money kicks in in March, but then make it a "June 1" cut. The salary savings would be negated by the dead money, and there would still be dead money in 2026, but you immediately get rid of the taint.

His $10 million roster bonus was guaranteed last March, so that isn't going away. The post June 1st $30 million in cap savings wouldn't be available until June and we have to do something with it before the league year starts in March.
 
Carr isn’t going anywhere. He is a serviceable placeholder while we rebuild the rest of the entire team.

Saints Franchise - Has an untradeable asset that no other team wants, or values.

Saints fans - I'd take a 4th rounder for him.

If the money worked I'd trade Carr and a 4th for a 7th to get out from under him. But the money does not work. We're stuck with him.
