Exploring How the Saints Could Trade Up for Cam Ward

The only way it happens is if we traded with Giants if there. Carr goes to them and we move up. Additional comp. Needed maybe, we'll see.
Carr can’t be traded until after June 1.
Before June, a Carr trade would be a 58.4M dead money cap charge putting the Saints about -28 million over the cap.

Post 6/1, it’s 19.21M dead money/1.25M cap savings from a trade. Or $20.46M dead money, same as his current cap hit, from a release. Carr would be traded or released later in the offseason in a separate move if they go in that direction.
