With reports saying the Saints want to sign Carr sooner than later, it leads me to think the following.
1. They don’t want to be Carr’s leverage with the Jets. The Jets want Rodgers but it wouldn’t surprise me if that deal to the Jets doesn’t happen for any number of reasons. Such is life in the world of Rodgers. If the Jets are now focued on Carr, as some are saying, the Saints could be removing themselves from being leverage.
2. The Saints are legitimately trying to get it done because Carr to the Jets is a leverage to get more money out of the Saints. If the Saints don’t think it’s happening, they press for a deal and ignore the Jets threat.
3. Carr has no intent to sign with the Saints. Saints are saying they want to sign him now for marketing/saving face purposes. The next step would be saying they are moving on from Carr and have decided to go in a different direction.
