Pathetic franchise. Can’t wait to win 7-8 games and get a mid draft pick

We compliant yet?

This is the year the fans would absolutely give you a pass to eat dead money as long as it was to restart this franchise. Of course they don't take advantage of that. They just kick the can and continue to live in mediocrity.

What does the restructure realistically do to his contract? That’s a massive chunk of money to open up, but I’m assuming makes it tougher for us to move on from him if he blows this year?

So if his cap hit is $69M in 2026-7 we have an opportunity to let that ride and be really bad coming up to the Arch Manning draft. If we are 8-9 again next year, I say trade our tradable young players and let everyone else expire. No restructures. Release Carr, take the hit and start Haener. We might not win a game. Sorry, have to find something uplifting in this news.

The converted salary money is added to the amortized signing bonus amounts up until 2028 (can't put it past there as there is no CBA and no cap starting in 2029 as of now). I'm seeing it be discussed as a 2026 cap cost of $69 million.

I'd suggest watching Spotrac's X account for updated amounts and perhaps a breakdown of what it would cost to cut him next year.

On the bright side, Carr's cap will be less than Deshaun Watson's 2026 cap hit.

For proof that this info is incorrect about not prorating into 2029 just look at McCoy's redone contract. Proration into 2029:

McCoy's Contract

So not sure where you got that info from, but that has never been the case in the past and isn't the case now.

And he isn't the only player we have prorated money into 2028 or 2029 either (Carr's also runs into 2029).

Edit:
Looks like Kamara and Werner even already have dummy years for 2029 and 2030 that were put in when they redid contracts last year with the obvious intention that we are going to restructure them this year and next year (since the proration last year couldn't spread out that far and the proration this year can't be spread to 2030).

4 other players with a dummy year in 2029 but no money on it yet also include Jordan, Davis, Ruiz, and Granderson, which signals intent to restructure all 4 of them this year, though it's possible we could go a different direction with Jordan if he pushes the issue (would need to be a June 1st cut).

And looks like Moreau and Saunders may get the restructure treatment this year as well since both have a dummy year in 2028 with no money on it yet. Being on the lower end of money it looks like we didn't see a need to spread their hits over 5 years, instead just doing 4.

simple restructures to demario, granderson, and ruiz puts us close to 4-5 million in cap space and that's before the redoing of godchaux.

before casualties of possibly Mathieu, Shepherd, Saunders, Wilson, maybe an olave trade etc.

I'm really hoping for pay cuts for at least Mathieu and Jordan

i agree. both should be paycut or cut.
