He'll probably get cut and run around $40 million per year. They can structure a contract to put that first year near league minimum plus a bit and go out and fill a couple of other holes and then fill in with the draft and be able to compete right away. As Underhill and Triplett discussed, the Saints would automatically be the favorites to win the division if we could land Carr and be in position to win some games in the playoffs.

I originally wanted Derek Carr for the Saints. However, I just don't think we can afford him. I know we can afford him, but I'm talking about the future cap hits that we roll back which prevent us from building the team even further. I would rather invest that money in the team in a position other than quarterback. But that won't happen because the front office is all about win now and pay whatever the cost later.

The most important position on a team is the QB. If you can get a good one whatever you pay is worth it. Paying now or later doesn't matter as long as you win, does it? The cap is going to keep skyrocketing and all of our dead money is rolling off the books.

Yes, the cap is going to skyrocket but I would rather not spend that money on a veteran who will give us two or three years maybe, but is already past his prime. I would rather draft a young quarterback and put these resources into building a better team for him to succeed. I understand that any quarterback that is available will need time to develop behind a stop Gap veteran.
