I’ve been saying from the start that the open market does not favor the Saints in regards to Carr. If they wanted him, they needed to get him while the Saints were the only suitors and a trade could be made.
However, Carr held the final key to all of that in that he’d have had to waive his “no trade” clause - and he’d have been a fool to not let the open market set his value.
I felt pretty strongly that once the trade didn’t happen that he’d likely end up somewhere else. Still could end up here but I just don’t feel it is as likely.
