Saints and Carr deal released $150M over 4 years $100M fully guaranteed (1 Viewer)

After waiting the guy out a month, I was not too fearful that the deal would be bad for the Saints. I think they got him for market value.

I can’t believe we paid 37.5M/yr. Want more details.

We didnt.

4yrs, 150 million with 100 in total guarantees.

I’m guessing the 4th year is just to stretch out the cap hit and if he is playing well going into the third year we will extend.

That seems like a reasonable deal to me. It will be interesting to see what Jimmy G gets.

Carr gets paid and Loomis/Harley got to fully structure the contract from the ground up to benefit the Saints cap. Everyone wins because we don't have to suffer through Dalton 2, the Daltoning.

Hooboy...The Jets forum... Those fans might filled with even more self-loathing and defeatism than Saints fans.

Too much for my blood. I give this a B+ grade

Almost sounds like effectively a 2 year/$70 million deal with injury guarantees and an out to restructure after 2 years. Maybe he is getting $30 million a year for the 1st 2 years with a $10 million guarantee in 3rd year if released (and 3rd year completely guaranteed at $40 million for injury). I just hope we were not dumb enough to give him a no-trade.

Sportstalk should be fun to listen to this afternoon. Bobby may have a breakdown on the air now that his boy Dalton won’t be keeping his gig like he’s been campaigning for the last few months.

Ahem.

You know what it takes to close player contracts?

You obviously forgot who our GM is.

Looking to the draft and free agency, what scared me the most about this deal is that means the Saints are all in and will use money and picks to make a run hopefully happen. While the money and picks themselves do not scare me, the mortgaging of the future, trading picks from this year and next year scare the crap out of me. Hopefully Dennis and Pete prove me wrong but if this doesn't work it slows down a rebuild and gives what should be a new coach less and less to work with when he gets here.
