After the restructure is finalized for Carr we aren't drafting a QB for at least 2 or possibly 3 more years


Well kind of but not really. Ideally you want a QB to wait a year to adjust. Some QBs can come in and play and some can’t.

Restructuring only buys Carr 2025. We’d be able to cut him after ‘24 with a low penalty now. After restructure it would be after ‘25, according to the article I read on it.

So you could draft a QB now (if one drops that you like) and sit him year 1. Then play him in 2025 and let Carr mentor him (despite what some of you think about Carr’s ability, he’s a good dude who’s been in the NFL for a long time) or draft one in ‘25 and let him go in ‘26.

The main issue is Loomis is ridiculous and just needs to stop punting money down the line. Both quantity and frequency.

I think a lot of that will depend on how they restructure him, and if they will need to restructure him again in 2025

But, if they restructure him for 2024, I think they will be forced to do the same in 2025. A restructure could force his 2025 cap hit to jump at least another $5M from $45.7M to $50.7M, plus his 2025 $30M salary becomes guaranteed. If they restructure him going into 2025, then to cut him after 2025 could easily escalate from $11.4M without a 2024 restructure, to over $50M when they restructure 2024 & 2025.
