I don't see a rookie that could step in given the team is still in a win now mode. You have anyone in mind beating him out?

The Saints should be in a rebuild mode.

I just think the team needs a reset. A reset on roster. A reset on cap. I’m all for them going in and trying to kick some ass. But eventually teams need to rebuild and reload.

I didn’t say Carr wasn’t best option but it sure seems odd that once the restructuring of his contract was greenlit by Mickey that it should’ve given some assurance to Carr to come out and say something or show a little excitement about the season, but at this point crickets. Maybe the trade is still being shopped and Nola has decided to go QB in first round or maybe some other move. Either way sure seems quiet on the Carr front

You can't rebuild when you keep missing on draft picks. Its what forces us to add free-agents instead of rebuilding through the draft. It also drives up our salary cap number.

We have too many players on 2nd and 3rd contracts. We need to start hitting on the cheaper rookies. Only then can we rebuild with cheaper younger players.

And some of the players we hit on we let go because of I assume lack of quality coaching to develop them or bad scheme fit, or possibly both, just to watch them go on to be great players for other teams.

I’m hoping for better draft results with this coaching staff we have in place. And please pick a scheme and draft players to fit it.

Again, Jeff Ireland’s name doesn’t come up enough.

Outside of 2017, his draft team has done a meh job.

The only way this franchise is going to improve is by drafting better.

I really think the Saints are eyeing Rattler to takeover at QB!

I actually think that there's a chance a Carr trade is in the works. I know the math isn't favorable but Carr doesn't appear to want to be in New Orleans and the organization knows what most of the fans think of Carr.

Todd McShay suggests Derek Carr may still move on from the Saints in 2025

Sure it's crickets. All the hype is currently on players getting signed, being traded, being cut, being extended, or retiring. Carr's status is status quo. As far as he and the team are concerned nothing has changed other than completely expected accounting.
