Ross Jackson explores a Carr trade to Giants [ESPN NFL Nation Giants reporter Jordan Raanan says Derek Carr could be a trade option for Giants]

I think the Saints have some leverage regarding a possible trade. If Carr agrees to waive his no trade clause, he gets to keep his full salary.

If the Saints cut him, he’ll be playing on a one year prove it deal like Russell Wilson.

If he’s released, him and his agent can market his services and show teams what he “put on tape”

Yep, the saints have some leverage. They can ask him to waive it. If he says no, then the saints could reply, well, you can ride the bench the next season, go with a QB the mike Mcarthy wants wether on the roster already, low cost vet, or trade for a2nd year rookie riding the pine. But he can hold the clip board and waste a year of his career.
