That Derek Carr Contract is Looking Pretty Brilliant Now

I made this argument last year, but understandably, it didn’t resonate. Carr ended up playing right around the worth of his contract in 2023 when you consider all the numbers and our win total. He’s clearly over performing it now.

Loomis looks like a genius locking him down at $37m a year and only $60m guaranteed when guys like Prescott are now getting $60m a year and $231m guaranteed.

Having a QB on that manageable of a contract is going to make 2025/26 more competitive as well for the Saints.

This allows the Saints if a potential young QB is available at their #1 draft slot in 2025 that is better than Rattler or Haener--to take them and sit for a couple of years. But first you have to decide if that QB is already on the Roster and what does the 2025 QB class look like. Saints need cheap younger talent/starters---trading out of a top spot with QB desperate team for multiple high picks would seem to make sense
