So why restructure his contract if the Saints knew about it?

The problem with restructuring the contract was that it guaranteed Carr his full salary. But if the Saints had not restructured the contract, Carr's salary would have guaranteed a few days later anyway. Either way the $40 million for Carr in 2025 was going to be a sunk cost. The only out was to cut Carr before the guarantee triggered and before the restructure. But if Carr was hurt due to a football injury, he could not be cut because he could not pass a physical. So the Saints may have been screwed. The thing about Loomis is that he loves getting bent over and screwed but he likes to keep it on the down low. So he tells everyone this lousy employee wearing all the eye liner and making twice what he is worth is the future of the company, when really he is just a pretty face who has Mickey bent over his desk.

Stetson Bennett is a joke. Imagine if AJ McCarron really liked to binge drink. At this point Bennett is a camp body who could possibly make an interesting mediocre third string QB for some teams local media. Nobody is getting more than a conditional 7th round pick swap for Bennett and he is no teams answer without an unprecedented career turnaround.

Because Mickey had made such a mess of the cap that it was the only way to avoid restructuring every other contract on the roster just to get under the cap
