Carr wanted to be traded prior to restructure per NOF and CBSsports

Krodwhodat said

Carr had two really good years, better than any QB not named Brees with an OLine only his brother and Archie Manning can understand with a coach only Archie can understand and we hate the guy.

We always said it will be hard for anyone coming after Brees. Most of us won’t be happy with anyone not a future HOL replacement

I agree.

If it’s true that he wanted a trade, I wish he and the team could have worked something out. A potential win-win for both sides. Carr might have found an opportunity to land somewhere that was better set up for him to ride out his career and the Saints could have hit reset at the position as they start a new chapter. It would have required Carr being amenable to helping out on salary.

Hopefully we learn more because the picture on this isn’t clear. It’s never a good situation to enter the start of a new season with a potentially disgruntled QB1. I’m not worried that he’ll be a disruptive presence, but you want a roster of guys working together towards shared goals and a collective future. If your QB1 isn’t feeling like a fixture in that, it’s going to be problematic. That’s not a dig on Carr. He has his interests to look out for and he’s at an age where he knows his career is winding down.
