Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread

I wouldn't be surprised to see either James Hurst, Granderson or Lutz cut this off-season. If the Saints want to compete on getting DCarr, you're probably going to need 70M+ in the kitty before the start of the league year.

And DCarr is definitely not waiting until early June before signing a new contract.

IMO some of the tough choices should have been made in 2021/22. This "win now " bullshinky nonsense needs to stop. The Saints are years away from truly competing. On the flip side, I understand (win now) because Allen wants to keep his job.

Make it make sense.

I can't make it make sense either. Let me know if you figure it out.

It's only going to take around $12 to $15 million of 2023 cap to bring in Carr. That's including $60 to $70 million signing bonus. We have the means to do it. That doesn't mean we will do it. Personally I hope we do because it may be twenty years until we have a shot at an equivalent QB.

I wouldn't mind him as a WR4 or 5. He's a good blocker and knows the system well. If we don't retain Thomas we'll likely add another legit weapon via free agency or the draft. The fact we are pursuing Carr just shows that they remain in it to win. I'll also take Callaway as that deep depth.

If they are in it to win then why would they bring back Tre Quan Smith? Wide receivers are supposed to be able to catch the ball not just block. They're not called wide blockers for a reason.
