re: Derek Carr says he won't take a pay cut 'Especially with what I put on tape'

frick that piece of shite

It statements like the “on tape comment “ that no matter how hard I try I can’t root for this undertaker looking retard .
You don’t need to say that . Excellence doesn’t need to be pumped up by the people responsible for it. Everyone knows. Sounds like many try hard douches I sat through meetings with and disappeared when the meeting was adjourned.
He knows he doesn’t fit in. That’s why he brought up talking to Gayle . He’s trying to garner support by implying she wants him to stay.

Eat the money and get him away from airline drive .

Id be okay with cutting Carr and taking our lumps next year but I doubt the widow would

Good thing we restructured him and moved out all his money further tying the saints hands in more years.

Carr knows he’s got a good thing; he ain’t about to give that up.

You ever gone to your management and offered to take one?

well shite lol

Carr's play is worth exactly what his average annual salary is, which is 17th as another posted commented. He's been exactly that, average. I'm not hating or celebrating, I do not blame him for not taking a pay cut (neither would I), but his current abilities & injuries are not good enough to overcome this roster & team in 2025. Pragmatic approach is cut bait now. He probably also knows this, and might be why he's putting this out there so he can get cut & try with another team instead of sticking around for "soft rebuild" over the next 3 years when he'll be in his late 30s.

Carr's "with what I put on tape" comment probably is more of backhanded shot at Rattler & Haener compared to their tape, W-L record, and TD-INT ratio. Relatively speaking, I cannot argue against it.

Roll with Rattler if no other veteran FA QB makes sense for the money. Let new HC & OC build the team around Rattler, but at the same time have a plan in case there is a QB in the draft they feel strongly about. Again this current version of Carr is not getting us into the post season with this team, so cut bait now & see what you have in Rattler and other younger players with a full offseason as starter.

I love Drew, but nobody should be white-knighting him about his contracts either. He was absolutely lucky to get his first 6yr/$60M contract from us, literally no other team offered him anything. If it wasn't for us he would have gotten like a 1yr/$6M prove it deal. Now he absolutely outplayed that contract! But he also absolutely squeezed every dollar he could out of all of his subsequent contracts which did handi-cap the team around him, no denying that, but there's also no denying that he was paid properly comparative to market value for those next contracts. The last 3 years were just similar to Carr now, he's still good, just not good enough to overcome shortfalls of this team.

People please stop chalking up Brady taking contract far less than max value because he had a rich wife, nobody thinks like that especially celebrities. Brady chose to do that because he wanted to fricking win & that was the best way to field a good team around him! And it worked 7 times! Plus you see they're divorced now, doubt it was complete shock to him or anybody else that either one of them would have cheated on each other. Rich, attractive celebrities do it all the time, it's their way.
