It's what a smart organization would do.
Which means there's about a 30% chance the Raiders do it.
If I'm betting, I'm guessing they turn that $32 million in base that Carr is owed next season into a signing bonus that spreads the hit out. I'm betting they give him a 4 year 'extension' that takes his base down to near $1 million and spreads the remainder over 4 years (so $8 million/yr). In exchange for doing so, I'm betting Carr gets additional guarantees on his 2024 salary thus tying him and Adams together for 2 more years.
His cap hit falls from $33 million to $10 million next season, spikes to $50 odd million in 2024 (with probably $30 million or so of dead money) and then he gets cut at the same time Adams does.
They are in a rough spot here.
