Underhill thinks Carr will be Saints starter [mod edit: Moore-Carr meeting went well; Saints plan is to keep Carr in 2025 & figure out contract]

St. Widge said

We are essentially doing what the Broncos did. They didn't purge the team the first year they had an aging not great roster with a new coach. They did that in the 2nd year for the new coah.

Much like the Broncos, we are going to keep our expensive aging vet QB along with our older players for one year, and then next year we cut the aging vet QB and let go of the older players. The Broncos improved last year despite spending very little in free agency because they hit on a QB and other young players.

Again, I would have done it this year, but I think the plan is to pretty much so do what the Broncos have done over a two year period.

Agreed. I believe this is exactly what we’re doing, too. Carr is literally our version of Russell Wilson. Let it play out & see where we’re drafting in 26. Carr will do what he’s done every single year of his career & that’s keystone cop his teams to a .500 or so season. But, after a year of that dookie show, we can dump Carr & start our search for our future QB1.

What’s more, is 26 & 27 look like they’ll be loaded w/super athletes at the position. True modern day NFL QB1s will be on deck. Im pretty sure this fact isnt lost on the Saints & they know who’s going to be coming out in the next few drafts.

All this stuff just sounds like things youre supposed to say going into a new season w/a new regime. It is like Sean Payton did year 1 in Denver. Play nice & play the hand your dealt, but if/when the it goes off the rails, it’ll be easier to move on & forward from Cart & allow Moore to find his QB1, a la Nix w/Payton.
