If the Saints decided to move on from Carr at some point, they would probably bench him for the rest of the season.

But if the Saints play the combination of Carr and Penning at any point this season, Carr could be our $40 million man coming off an ACL at 34yo in 2025.

If Pretty Boy Haener or Bayou Rattler take over at some point, their rookie salaries opens an opportunity to move Carr, even if there is some residual Carr cap $.
