I suck at capology—Can someone break down why we can’t designate Carr a post 6/1 cut?

As usual, nonetheless, the Saints used restructures to open space for the next season. This year, it was an expected adjustment with Derek Carr to clear $23 million in 2024.

However, the change also increased his upcoming cap hits to north of $50 and 60 million in 2025 and 2026, respectively. There's no realistic "out" until 2027, and that assumes no updates to his deal next offseason—which, again, is usually not how New Orleans operates.

Even if the Saints were to make him a post-June 1 cut, their best-case scenario is more than $21 million in dead cap in 2025.

I like the best-case scenario

What would that do do for his dead cap hit after his restructure?

Kick a shitload into the next year.

I can make this real simple, ignoring the can kicking it would have down the line: we will likely have to restructure his base salary again to get under the 2025 cap. We need to be able to make more of his cap hit in 2025 go away than what we'd get with a post June 1 cut.

Does that make sense?

The best case for Carr is to trade him if not ride it out and into the ground.

Should have bitten the bullet 3-4 years ago.

You could just see this being a.500 to sub-.500 team for the next two or three years, three years ago.

Now, we’re still stuck in salary cap f*cking hell with very little talent and nothing to really build on. For this alone, Loomis should be fired.

Right but I suppose if you could get something for him, why not take it and offload a little money. Odds are, we are stuck with his arse

Jesus fricking Christ, Loomis fricked us hard with this one....

It’s been above Loomis for years now. Gayle will go down as the shittiest business person ever to own a NFL franchise. One look at that chart should tell her all she needs to know about where Loomis has led the Saints. We should be Super Bowl contenders with the salaries we’ve paid but are the among the bottom 3 teams currently.

Old Man Benson is rolling in his grave wondering why Gayle shoving her fingers up his arse was persuasive enough to take the team from Rita. Rita was a petulant bitch, but wouldn’t stand for the organizational malpractice we’ve witnessed.

How you fans continue to waste money on season tickets is beyond me.

Yeah Carr will be back but will Dennis Allen?

would say your optimistic views on Rita are contrary to history. She was given the keys to a kingdom and shite the bed. T

I wasn’t optimistic on Rita at all, but she did fire 38 executive assistants. Both choices we had when Tom was alive sucked, but I am confident Rita would’ve made a change at GM years ago. The performance of Loomis is easy to read, and the only thing saving him is Gayle’s love for him. Not a way to run a business.

You can. You get more money i believe cutting him 6/1 but someone may not want to pay him that and give up picks. Long story short, Lattimore, Kamara, Carr, Jordan can all but cut post 6/1 and save a fortune for this team. So the people saying they can’t get out of his contract are wrong. But, i don’t think they try and get out of it.
