Dave Ziegler joining the Saints as an advisor for Free Agency and the draft (Saints permanently hire Ziegler as Personnel Advisor)
Carr at this point in his career has a had a good amount of injuries at the QB positoin. He's no spring chicken so the chances that he misses a game or two, or a few quarters are high. So you kind of need a high quality backup or you risk leaving your season in the hands of someone like Jake Haener or Blaine Gabbert. And, you may say well it's just one game, but the Packers game comes to mind.
Carr missed 2 quarters I think, but plenty of people ,including Brees pointed out how losing that single game likely caused us to miss the playoffs.
