New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr said he "wouldn't take a pay cut" amid the team's dire cap space situation heading into next season.

"Yeah, I wouldn't do that," Carr said ESPN's Katherine Terrell. Especially with what I put on tape. Would I restructure? Absolutely. I'll always help the team that way. But there's some things that you put out there that you earned. Even in some cases it could be even worse, but I felt confident when I signed it that this would give the team the best flexibility at the time.
