We are three days after the Super Bowl. This day is significant because it’s when many players have guarantees that kick in for the following season’s salary. It means a lot of teams will be making tough decisions. Whether that is to roll with a player and his salary or to cut him loose.
Derek Carr is such a player. His $19.9 million base salary for 2019 becomes guaranteed today, as noted by ESPN’s Field Yates.
What this means is if Derek Carr is still on the roster by 1:00 pm Pacific (4 pm ET) today, he isn’t getting cut.
