Saints could get to $14.61 million under the cap without restructuring Derek Carr, after Saints salary cap potentially increases by $5M

I just do not see them letting Carr go this year unless some dumb team gives up draft picks and takes on his contract as is. Other than that, Carr will be the Saints' quarterback this coming season, and we will continue to clean up the cap and try to shape the roster with preparations for 2026 and 2027, the years we are really trying to make some noise.
