A positive way to look at the Carr signing

Carr’s signing has a ton of positives -

Carr’s contract is exactly his projected market value. The Saints didn’t overpay and after Jackson and Jones get their new deals Carr’s deal will look like an absolute bargain.

Carr is an improvement over Dalton/Winston. It remains to be seen just how big an improvement but he is an improvement none the less.

It prevents the Saints from being forced to trade up in the draft to try to get a QB.

It now frees the team up to go best player available in the draft. They have a ton of needs and now can use their picks to fill those needs.

Carr brings stability to the Saints QB position. Vet FAs might have been reluctant to sign with Saints with Dalton/Winston/a rookie at QB but now they know the team has a decent QB who can get them to the playoffs.

You may not love him yet but signing the guy solved a lot of problems for the team.
