Re: Saints finalizing deal with Kellen Moore
3. New Orleans Saints
Barring any unexpected developments, New Orleans is expected to hire Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore as its new coach, league sources told ESPN. The new coach will inherit a team that has limited salary cap flexibility this offseason.
The Saints enter the offseason roughly $60 million over the cap, and they can't get much relief from quarterback Derek Carr, who has $10 million guaranteed for 2025 with another $30 million scheduled to kick in March 15. Moving on from Carr would save them only a couple of million dollars, meaning he probably will be the team's QB1 entering 2025. But the team will have to find cap space and roster improvements elsewhere. Until it finalizes a coaching staff, no meaningful decisions can be made. The NFL world revolved around New Orleans during Super Bowl week, and there will be plenty of interest in the city this offseason.
