Also, if he struggles for a few games, gets a medium injury and misses a significant chunk of games, and then is ready to come back later in the season, I could see us deciding to keep him on the bench either if his replacement is playing well or if we are out of contention and dont want to risk an injury guaranteeing his salary. |

Kicking games and punting units look good on paper.

Re: Saints at Cardinals Gameday Thread
Sampson looked nice with his few opportunities. Kolker looked real nice. Alot of people won't agree with thus but I say trade Adebo keep Marshon Start #1 that's just my opinion though

Re: Saints at Cardinals Gameday Thread
We would probably have to cut Carr. If Carr were injured on 3/17/25 he could not be cut. A team would be hesistant to trade for Carr and play him in 2025 because he is due a $10 million roster bonus that is guaranteed and a $30 million salary that guaranteed on 3/17/25. Carr is only marketable if he is playing like he is worth $40 million. The scenario where we can trade Carr is something like the Carson Wentz season where he plays MVP caliber football, gets hurt, and our backup wins the Super Bowl. I am not sure our oline can play its role in that script.

He made the most of the opportunity regardless of who he faced. We couldn't say that with Ian Book ![]() With his skill set, he'll likely surpass Haener and in a year probably compete for Carr's job. For where he was drafted, terrific value. |

Re: Saints at Cardinals Gameday Thread
This is the absolute truth. I'd expect that Rattler is the first one in next week instead of Haener. We may not see Carr at all. Here's hoping he keeps looking smooth and takes over that backup spot and actually has a chance at the starting gig in 2025 if he proves to be a decent replacement for Carr.
