Not sure how they have the money to do that, they were mortgaged to the hilt. He's a good QB but man, the cupboards are bare there.

That team is going to be living a post-Mardi Gras hangover for the next few seasons.

 

Yeah, they need a QB, but they also need a lot else.  Especially on offense. 

I doubt he ultimately helps their money situation.  You have to assume it is heavily back-loaded with some deadlines for accelerators that make those years guaranteed (much like his Raiders contract).

They could wind up being a team with a decent defense, good QB, and little else on the offensive side of the ball.  I don't think that is an ideal fit for him.

This move also probably starts the countdown for their coaching staff.  If they thought they had a few years, they need to think again.

So they win a weak division, get their teeth kicked in during the playoffs and keep their cycle of never rebuilding alive for another year or two?  Great!  When they utterly implode in a couple of seasons, we should be peaking.  Perfect timing.

Gonna assume it's in the 4 year $150M range. Low salary this year with most of it in a signing bonus. Probably has 1 or 2 void years to spread the bonus.

Oh yes let them kick out good money for a meh QB and watch the cuts coming..

oh happy day

We've all been saying that the NFC South team that lands a legit QB is poised to own the division for the foreseeable future. Well, the Saints just did that.

Folks, we just got a guarantee that we're gonna do something very bold (and hopefully not very stupid) in the draft.

Legit QB is my problem with this statement..

The defense is old and the Oline is Falling apart .. Im good that they are trying to avoid a rebuild they should be doing..

The Saints always seemed like a logical landing spot for Carr. With Andy Dalton a free agent, and Jameis Winston a cut candidate, Carr represented the best veteran option available.

Carr might not offer young upside, but he has proven he can move the offense in the right setting. Whether that setting is in New Orleans remains to be seen, but there weren't many routes for the veteran Saints to take in hopes of remaining relevant.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
