And the Saints were reluctant to re-sign Carr--but had few other options.  So they re-sign him, give him a back-loaded deal, he might have to have season-ending (2025) shoulder surgery, and there are literally free agents left who are affordable and better than Rattler.  In the weakest QB draft in a long while, they are nearly committed to drafting a QB the year before the QB Fairy delivers 10 or more QBs to the league, all of whom are better than $anders.  Sanders needs a year to sit and learn behind a veteran, but this will force him to play right away.  The Saints have needs on the OL, but Kellen Moore has mentioned offensive skill players.  On April 7, a Saints podcaster shared these 2 quotes from Moore, insisting that he revealed their draft plans.  To me, it sounds as if he wanted Warren before the Carr announcement:

This screams Warren.

The podcaster went on to say that they need a big bodied WR, mentioning McMillen.  Then he said, "The Saints are going to draft Warren, TMac, or Sanders."

You have to consider the fact that the coach is interested in calming players down before the draft.  The Saints just gave Juwan Johnson a 3-year, $30m deal.  He is trying to prepare Johnson for the Warren pick.  This tells me that they were possibly not targeting a QB in round 1---until Carr's announcement.

Just interesting stuff--nothing earth shattering here.  If their list was down to 3 players, Sanders just went to the top of it.

I really hope they draft Tmac

If they cut him now its 80 million in dead cap this season....... once they cut him next season its 60 million. Sure they can kick the can and re-up with him for 2026. They choose poorly, very. They could have cut him this year and SAVED 11 million, but nahhhhhh sign 88 year old cam Jordan and MLB davis. While using this carr saving to spend future money on kamara and young. It was time for the reset and pay up. Huge mistake even if Carr can play. 

They have a 100 million bill incoming no matter what, unless they what to pay it in 2027 by resigning 35 year old Carr, 37 year Cam Jordan, 35 year old Davis and others.

It's about time they finally had to pay that bill. It's been years of kicking the can.

There's kicking the can and then there's giving Derek Carr 100 million guaranteed.  Just stupid.

Nearly as dumb as giving a playoff choking 35 year old QB coming off a achilles injury 100 million in guaranteed. 

NFC south is ready to be taken....

IMO that only works if your team is winning or perennial play playoff contenders. They have been a 7 win team the last four years.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By strato · Posted

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
