This why I don't like leveraging the cap to the max. I am not sure we have options for an unexpected situation like this. I think Carr could plausibly demand an extension and if we say no, we could plausibly default on the 2024 salary cap and be unable to sign any draft picks and get fined millions.

Get over this crap, Bako. It never ends. Losing is bad enough but then to have to come in here and see your same tired rhetoric makes me want to throw up. Nothing personal, but it gets really old.
