How would that affect the Saints Cap?

Re: NFL Mock Draft 2025
 

Cutting or trading Carr after his restructure would cause $59 million of cap charges for past restructures and bonuses to hit the salary cap. Prior to June 1, this would cause the Saints to exceed the salary cap and foreit games and/or draft picks, and there would probably not be enough other contracts for terminate or restructure to get under. The Saints would save $4.5 million on Carr and Olaves salaries and Olaves roster bonus but still the $54.5 million cap hit would be too much. There is no post-june-1 tag for trades. Carr could only be cut or traded before restructuring or after June 1.

If the trade was executed after June 1 the $59 million would hit the 2026 cap but $19 million of it is already on the 2026 cap and Carr’s $50 million base salary would exit the 2026 cap so the net would be $10 million extra cap space in 2026. For 2025 the Saint would gain $4.5 million and likely use that toward Wards salary.

But the Titans would not do this trade anyway.

This would be a nice draft to start the future with Kellen

Fooled me. I honestly thought that you were bringing some olde English to the site as you are wont to do.
I don't know who's who this year but I know that the Saints have a lot of needs on both sides of the ball. So there's nothing new under the sun. Draft BPA, draft from the lines out and maybe wait on a QB in this years draft unless Dartt makes it to the Saints 2nd round pick.

Re: NFL Mock Draft 2025
 

I think the Saints trade Derek Carr, our first this year and next to get the number one pick and draft Cam Ward or stand firm and draft Milroe or Dart! You heard it here first sports fans!

Re: NFL Mock Draft 2025
 

God I hope not. Not against the trading of Carr. But this year and next years 1st round picks for Ward? Yikes.

I don't think Mason Taylor lasts that long. But yeah, absolutely take him if he does.
