Within a couple of years $35 million for a quality starting QB is going to be a steal.


A five year deal at $35 million average would be great. A vet minimum of $1.165 million first year and a $34 million signing bonus would work out to a 2023 cap hit of $7.965 million and should leave us about $20 million open cap for further free agency. Carr would go for that as he would have over $35 million in his pocket year one.

On “The Herd” JMac and Colin both seem to think that Saints were the best ready to win option in the NFC South for Carr and make the Saints odds on favorites to win the NFC South.

Jets not the best fit because of the AFC East -Bills Dolphins Patriots. Talking head stuff but make sense to me.

If Carr wants to win he’s better off playing in the NFC South … just repeating the talking point.

Makes sense, WW.

If this is accurate, then I’m good with going for Carr…especially if we can have that much cap available to spend afterwards. Then we could spend in FA including retaining our own valuable FAs. If we hit well in the draft on top of that I’ll be a happy camper. Ultimately I want to fill out this roster with quality players, and if we can do that and get Carr also, then great.

That's what they want you to believe. The NFL and RG think we're fools. We shouldn't let them think that.

What do they want us to believe? You lost me on that one, Smash. :confused:

This is a very similar structure to what Loomis and Harley have negotiated with newly signed free agents in the past.
