Saints head coach Kellen Moore introductory press conference, media updates, February 13, 2025

Nolan said
Tripp asked the point blank question if he viewed it as the Saints having a decision to make at quarterback, or do you view Derek Carr as our starting quarterback, and he was non-committal. Called him a tremendous starting quarterback in this league. If Carr was a lock to be on this roster, he would have answered the question with something that sounds like "Derek is our starting quarterback".

We may keep him, we may not, but it's pretty clear that they're going to weigh the options and make a decision. I'm not the only one who interpreted it this way.

I don't think that exactly it. He knows what he has in Carr, and I think he's comfortable going into the season with Carr as the starter. But he also knows where Carr's at in his career and that they need to find a long-term answer at QB. I doubt that he's had enough time to look at Rattler and Haener, or the draft to answer that question.
