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

I just don’t get this notion that the team would be this desperate to move on from a player that was a top 10 rated passer, playing with mostly depth players and one of the worst head coaches in league history.

Unless you can get compensation and a team takes on some of the cap burden, it just doesn’t make sense to make this move this current year.

Next year is a different story though.

You listen to people here and you’d think Carr is coming off one of the worst seasons of all-time.

Why would next year be a different story? If the team believes he is a top 10 option then they should build around him for the long haul. If they don't, then get started on the future.

I'm fine with either option but I'm not crazy about keeping Carr as a placeholder with the intent to cut him next year. Now is the time to reset the culture of the future. Moore needs to decide if the future is Derek Carr.
