Underhill thinks Carr will be Saints starter [mod edit: Moore-Carr meeting went well; Saints plan is to keep Carr in 2025 & figure out contract] (104 Viewers)

[Rexman100]

In fairness, Nick is basing his assessment more on the cap and his expectations about how the Saints might approach the challenges associated with Carr's contract.

My understanding is that it can go either way (because of the cap_ with a strong sense that Carr's foot is more out the door than in it. But we shall see.

Its not just Nick, around 50 media outlets are reporting it.

So apparently the Saints/Moore have met with Carr and it went well. It points to him likely staying but I also know that there are people who want to move on.

who wants to move on from Carr, you mean Saints fans?

I have been pretty vocal about wanting to move on from Carr (and no, not because I have some personal vendetta, it is just what I personally think is best for the team). But, if Carr IS the plan for 2025 then I hope like hell they trade down in this draft and recoup another first rounder next year so that we have the ammo to move up in 2026 for a QB, rather than mortgage future draft picks. Because we all know that Carr as QB1 = drafting in the teens. We’ll win just enough to keep us out of the top 5. And even if Carr balls out he is not the long term solution here.

I figured they would keep him at least for this season, so no shock from me. We're gonna win just enough games to get a mid-to-late teens pick in next year's draft. Oh well.

My biggest fear is finishing middle of a pack and missing out on a top QB next year. He’s not bad enough to the point we will only win 2 games or not good enough to where I say we are winning 10 lol.

He posted that before the news broke a few minutes later.

2026 QB class won't be given up on trades since it's top heavy. You either have to suck enough to get that 1st pick or the 2nd pick or don't draft a QB.

 

[St.Dan]

Last few posts are fair points. Even with rebuilt lines, it's wholly possible to see improvement only to about 8-9 or 9-8, which would warrant the dreaded "trading up" to get one of the expected S-tier QBs in '26.

Add Garrett Nussmeier's dad being on the staff to the list of potentially peculiar circumstances at that point.

Carr has a no-trade clause.

I think we're stuck with him.

 

[No2DC]

Do most GMs say that they are confident they have a QB they can lose with?

Mick fails at acknowledging the gray area; he did the same with the deer.

Hopefully, and I think, this marriage will only last one more year and is mostly because of the cap cost of cutting him this year. It gives me hope that Nick says that the Saints really like Cam Ward and it sound like if he fell to #9 (he won't), they would draft him. It also sounds like they would trade up for him, but the cost is too high right now.

Good thing we won a few meaningless games under Rizzi!

Everybody during the season has such blinders. It's obvious last year's team was going nowhere but everyone was so thrilled we won against a crap Giants team.

A few worthless wins might keep us out of reach of the QB they want.

If Carr is the starter next year we won’t need to move up. This is terrible news for a team that needs to blow it up in the worst way.
