Reality: It was going to be 2027 when the cap is cleaned up, to not be an albatross. I've said that all along.
Good news: The decision's been made, the team can move forward. Fanbase too. You hope Moore + Carr will improve Carr and normalize away his annual shirtshow persona. Remember, Carr does not go to the playoffs and Carr does not beat good teams. He hits a bomb TD alot in games, but not much more. He is not mobile and Moore will want mobil e in the future. We're not rehashing the 'is Carr responsible for that or someone else/other things?' We have a career of data that no Carr apologist can refute. The new variable is Moore.
Good news: They got the contract under better control with the $10M cap savings over dead cap if they jettison his butt out of here in a year.
People's assumptions: This could've simply been a this year or next year business decision. I would not assume things like..
'Moore WANTED Carr,'
'we're loading up for bear on Free Agency - the new cap space may just have been a necessity, not a luxury.' We'll see soon.
'Saints and /or Carr seriously negotiated other options, the pay cut, extension, etc.. Frankly, good for Carr helping Mickey to just make a clean decision and restructure, with no impact beyond 2026.
'we're drafting a QB early in April draft' - let's just see how the roster changes further by Wednesday, and in FA which will immediately follow.'

@St. Geezy , if you're gonna punch down on Saints twitter, at least embed some tweets so we can see who and what you're referring to. The fact that you go after them like that alot sounds like a you-problem. Such that you don't know what you're doing on twitter like Taker. I, and others do, -- i.e. which Saints media/fans to read and/or spend your time with - and which ones to reflexively filter out.
