Carr has a dead cap of 51 million. All this kicking the can down the road has killed any type of future anytime soon.
If would be beneficial to our cap situation if players like Ram and Jordan would be willing to reduce their base salary to $1 million with no additional restructuring bonus, then retire June 1, making the dead cap hit affect the 2026 cap not 2025.

If we restructure Carr, his dead cap hit will be just as large in 2026 offseason, there will never be the right time to move on, the 'future out' is based on the false premise of no restructures between now and then. We should either designate Carr a post-June-1 cut or demand he take a pay cut to stay on the team. I don't think any other team would pay Carr what we do after 2 years of concussions, injury, inconsistency, and in his mid-30's with zero playoff wins, so we should correct the contract to market rate for a Garappalo - Minshew type QB.

Except Carr thinks he gave us a discount... did he mean a discount on performance, I wonder?

It's been a while since Bill Belichick has done anything. I'm afraid the game has passed him by. I want younger coaches with me philosophies.
