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.

They pushed all their chips to the middle of the table. The problem is they did it in an extremely clumsy, short sighted fashion. This truly was their "in it to win it" year and they couldn't even kick a field goal against the damn Saints. Watch, the Raiders will sign the honey badger in a year after the Saints dump him to fix all of their secondary problems.
