I agree with this. The only exception is if Carr has become discontent and does not want to be here and the team is having to adjust to that, somehow not foreseeing it after conversations with Carr.

I will continue to say that everything happens the way it's supposed to happen. If they Saints find themselves in a tight spot w/ Carr and are forced to trade up to draft a QB and then move him it'll be becasue it's in our best interest.

Last year we couldn't get out of our own way and just when it looked like we could manage some wins, Carr gets himself injured and we remain within the top 10 draft picks, arguably so we could be in this position right now. If he forces his way out of town...good.

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.

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.

And there it is. With 10 voiding contracts, we have 36 players for 2026 and already $4 million over the cap.

We can expect McCoy, Chase Young, Granderson, Ruiz, Johnson, and Kamara to be the quick restructures in Mar 2026. They’ll clear $49 million cap space. Kamara will probably be a reworked deal/paycut with the same amount of cap savings ($8M).

2027 will be the Year of The Big Absorb for all of the current-2026 dead money to absorb into the $80-100+ million cap space that’ll be available then.

Yep 2027 is the end game.
 
At this point, probably makes sense to just cut Ramczyk before June 1 and absorb his full dead cap hit this year (would be an additional $10 - $11 M or so on this year's cap). We're currently project to be slightly over the cap for next year (even before Reid's contract is factored in), so wouldn't hurt to get a little breathing room next year. In fact, it would be a nice change!
