Kellen Moore most likely to be Saints coach; Saints meeting with Moore again after the SB, Kellen Moore has begun working on assembling coaching staff
I think all the possibilities remain open, even if he doesn’t like the QB room (why would he; he is 37 years old and doesn’t have a bonafide QB of the future on the roster).
1) We keep Carr and he plays Carr as the best QB on the roster for his offense. Carr probably remains on the team one more year only unless something crazy happens. Carr gets cut going into 2026’s season.
2) We keep Carr but he elects to start another QB such as Rattler or a new free agent QB. Carr likely demands a trade, which we may or may not be able to accommodate. This could also look like the team telling Carr that he will not be starting in 2025 to entice him to allow us to try and trade him. Either way, he would be difficult to trade given his contract and our lack of negotiating position.
3) We find a way to cut Carr, requiring us to restructure a lot of other players that I think we also wouldn’t want to restructure. But this might send the “message” that a new QB era is coming with this head coach.
In all scenarios I suspect that we will be looking heavily at this draft’s QBs but I’ll be shocked if we end up going QB in 2025. Much more likely we start Carr or Rattler and unless Rattler knocks our socks off, we are all in on a QB in 2026.
