Mike Garafolo: Saints are set to make a decision on Derek Carr within the next few weeks; likely to have multiple suitors if released

Oh it makes sense, and I know there’s no good options, I just think it’s trade him (least likely), cutting him prior to march 13th or keeping him this season are the only probable options.
If you mean cutting him with a June 1 designation before his salary is guaranteed on the 15th, then I totally agree. There is not real way to cut him outright this year. It would only save $1.3m on the 2025 cap and we need more than that to be able to sign rookies later.
