I am definitely open to Derek Carr and the short-term potential he offers.

Re: I'd like to try and get Derek Carr
Restructuring would be promised in the trade. He knows he is not worth what he’s being paid. Backload the new contract until this cap mess clears up

Re: I'd like to try and get Derek Carr
Restructuring his base salary to a signing bonus is an advantage to the player. Instead of getting 17 weekly game checks he gets the bulk of it up front. The team just accounts for it in subsequent years.
