Underhill: I think everyone involved knows Carr cannot play this year at his current salary

The restructuring of his contract last year helped to put the Saints in this situation. Carr has earned the contract given to him. 4 years for $150m. I’m not a math major but that is $37.5m a season before what portion of the $150 was guaranteed (I think $70m was). $37.5m is a middle of the road salary for a starting QB that is not on their 1st contract. His cap number is high because of moving money to the backend of the contract.

Last season just had too many injuries to be consistent enough to be good as a team. If the Saints can be healthier this season they will be in the hunt of the division. There is no team going to run away from the others. Saints do need to have a solid draft to start mixing in some youth and talent.
