Saints Cap Moves: $33,780,933 cap space ….. 8 restructures, 3 extensions, 3 pay cut, 1 release [All current cap moves are in OP below line] (261 Viewers)

I don't think it's likely, but maybe Carr starting was the plan but Carr got pissed because they asked him to take a pay cut and wants to be traded. That would explain why they initially came out declaring they wanted Carr to start and restructured his deal. They may have thought Carr would get over it but maybe he, or more likely his agent, is making noise that makes them think it won't be a good situation to keep Carr against his wishes?

I'm obviously speculating and none of this seems likely, but that's one explanation for how things have gone down.

Who is Carr's agent?

what makes me think there something going on, besides the silence itself. Is that they cleared a ton of space then whiffed. Ok that space was for the three they whiffed on. OK But why continue to clear cap room? This tells me the space wasnt necessarily for the free agents. Then it must be for Carr and to get rid of him after june 1st? (Carr knows this, and this is why he didnt show up for anything and is silent now). Does this make sense cap wise? Maybe we're drafting Dart at 9 or moving up? Hmm, As im writing this im remembering AKs tweet.

Isn't this similar to the way we cleared space in the pursuit of Watson? We cleared a bunch of space going after him and even when it was apparent we were not getting him we still cleared more space.

Yea I don’t remember them clearing space after whiffing on Watson. (Not disagreeing, I just don’t remember) Maybe it’s just a due diligence clearing for the following year. However, that doesn’t answer why DC4 is mouse quiet. I think it’s been said enough by many, Mike Detilier, NoF, that DC4 should’ve gotten the message loud and clear, but yet.,more silence. Maybe I’m making something out of nothing.

With Watson, it was different. We were in pursuit of him while we adjusted our cap and made space. We are currently do this with no free agent that's going to command that type of money on the market right now.

DC is normally hardly ever on social media. The last thing he posted was on 1/1/25 saying he's praying for N.O. He didn't post anything last yr when KK was hired. Besides my guess is he knows that anything he posts, even if he comes out and says he loves CKM and the Saints it will get spun and interpreted they way the doomers want. So why say anything?

Maybe not 1 but it could be a couple guys
