Re: I'd like to try and get Derek Carr
Waller missed 8 games last year. Renfrow missed 7. Adams had 1,500 yards and 14 TDs. Jacobs had a career year. Raiders defense was ranked like 28th. I’m not convinced Carr is a star but I’m intrigued.

Re: I'd like to try and get Derek Carr
Daniel Jones reportedly wants $45M per season
WTH? What has DJones accomplished to command that type of salary? No telling what DCarr's camp is asking but the Saints shouldn't break the bank either. Get your books in order & continue to draft well. |

The only way to have it both ways is to draft a QB high in the first round. Only there is the talent elite and the price tag for the first 5 years are reasonable. That's why I find discussions about Carr, or Rodgers, or Jackson, or any other elite QB that could be available for trade or signing in free agency laughable. Their ballparks are $50 million a year, and likely almost all of it guaranteed. Unless you are an organization that's prepared to win like next year, it's just a waste of time. SFIAH |

As such blowing out the salary cap to bring in a QB until we've addressed the holes in both lines, along with solid backups along virtually every position in the offense and the defense.
The Saints need an offensive identity independent of the QB. Bringing in a high priced mercenary isn't going to solve that problem. SFIAH |
