Why not?

Admitting it's over and doing right by the organization at significant cost to himself is good.

Carr knew he had no support in locker room
Why come back to a place where other players don’t want to play with you
My guess is saints indicated they were moving on

Loomis is probably pissed at the can he kicked for not going down the road.

I mean....they just announced on Sportscenter.

Holy shite man, I wonder if this was mediated I cant see walking away from that kind of money. This was about to get ugly and the NFL did not want that.

That said, great result for the Saints.

He would have done anything to not have his family step foot again in NewOrleans.

So how does this really affect the cap. Does that mean we don’t have that dead money anymore? For this year, for next year,?

He didn't even have to play, but he had to work to return to field

Sucks that the Carr experience was like this. Seems like a good dude. It’s absolutely wild that he’s passing up on that kind of money, but it shows how wealthy these athletes become.

Right, his 2025 salary was already guaranteed.

Either this was mediated which is likely the case, or carr has way more screws loose than we all thought.

Hope he gets some help.
