If we're going to suck no matter what, why even do the deal? We can suck just as much and maybe still eek out enough of a record to win the NFC South, but with a QB on a rookie contract. And if it does not work out, we're sitting pretty in year 2024, the vaunted year for QBs coming out of college.
Will respect to all views and opinion on the Team Saints Suckage in 2023, We need a QB nothing changes with a drafted QB this year or next year, but the position players need change all be address in this years draft and next years draft.

DC is not a top 10 QB but he is the best available, forget Rodgers anit happening wouldn’t want him if he was … opinion.

But if we don’t have a true starting QB next season suckage will continue regardless of getting cap happy in 2023. Problem is not overall lack of talent our defense proved again it can keep us in every game if our offense could score 28 points. We lost 5 games to teams scoring 20 points are less only lost 3 games when opponents 30 or more.

Just need a QB who can get the ball down the field to our 2 wideouts that make the secondary respect and have to defend that capability. With play action it will open the underneath and middle of the field.

Get DC signed and figure the rest out …. WhoDat for life.

Kamara needs help too.

The offense suffered a lot because they could key on Kamara so much. PC (God help us) needs to be more creative with Kamara but he also needs to be paired with a bruiser counterpart.

I'd love a return to the 3 headed monster at RB we used to have.

I'm warming up to the idea of Derek Carr. I still want a Young quarterback but I'm not sure that we have the coaching staff to develop one.

Things are sounding serious with Carr. According to Underhill he's back at the Saints facilities again today!

Adding Derek Carr could help the Saints keep Michael Thomas

Adding Derek Carr could help the Saints keep Michael Thomas


John Sigler
February 7, 2023 11:00 pm CT

The last time the New Orleans Saints restructured their contract with Michael Thomas, it seemed to tee up an early release that would send Thomas off to continue his career elsewhere. But the news surrounding Derek Carr might introduce a change of plans. The Saints can always circle back to their contract with Thomas, renegotiate things, and run it back with him in 2023. Of course the first step is acquiring the former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback, possibly by a trade.

Adding an established passer — like Carr — could have real appeal to Thomas as he works to get his body right and reestablish himself as one of the league’s best wide receivers. Davante Adams just led the league in touchdown catches (14) while totaling 100 receptions for 1,516 yards with Carr as his quarterback. Thomas could very well be looking at him as someone who can revive his career.

That’s the main selling-point New Orleans can offer Thomas, but there are other factors at work. He wouldn’t have to relocate and pick up a new offense in another NFL city. He likes his coaches and the new Saints training staff the team brought in last summer. There aren’t many players who have spent their entire career with just one team, and that might matter to him, too.

But it comes down to money. Thomas can’t play on his contract as it is currently written. If nothing changes and he suits up for the Saints in the fall, he’ll trigger a whopping $60 million cap hit in 2024 by dressing out for at least four games. The Saints will need to meet with him and his agent and hash out a new arrangement. A pay cut would have to be discussed, and the likeliest scenario is that his current contract gets ripped up, processed, and redone altogether. A one-year deal featuring heavy incentives could make sense and set up Thomas to cash in next offseason if all goes according to plan.

It would be an unexpected twist to his story with the Saints, but stranger things have happened. Thomas commented in a since-deleted tweet on Tuesday evening that he’s keeping receipts on everyone speculating about his future in the NFL, advising them to “stay tuned” about his next move:




Maybe this means something, maybe it doesn’t. We’re entering the busiest months of the Saints offseason and cryptic tweets like this one are all the rage. We’re all just along for the ride. The only thing certain is that the road ahead of us it uncertain. It feels unlikely that Thomas plays for New Orleans in 2023, but we can’t rule it out, especially if the Saints get their quarterback.
