A stretch?

Anyone with a half ounce of intellect should recognize if he stays it is due to his contract. If the Saints could unload him they would, even if they had to eat part of his contract.

At the time I feared Carr could extract a raise or additional guarantees from the Saints in return for signing on the dotted line to a restructure if the Saints got so cap broke or unwilling to rebuild that they had to restructure him no matter the cost. Everyone assumes that if Carr was upset the Saints could restructure without his signature that means he wanted to leave the team, but its equally possible he wanted a raise to $50-60mil/yr and a guaranteed money in 2027.

More than likely the latter is true. Gotta swallow the tough paper until we don't have to. It's a shame, really. It's not as if there weren't opportunities to move on from him this year.

Feels like a weird place to update your injury status.

I don't want him back in Louisiana.

I believe it was more context being given to his message rather than an injury update. He's right, however, about the impact social media is having on the world today.

Yet he's using social media for his new YT channel.

He could have done so many other things to handle this problem more appropriately, yet he didn't. When he moved himself and his entire family to Fresno in December literally at season's end, he knew exactly what he was doing. It's an utter embarrassment he was not even involved in the NOLA Superbowl events. Jaboo was, as was Brees, and many other Saints. For someone whom portended to be a possible preacher before taking the $ in the NFL, a man of God if you will, he sure is not comporting himself as such. He is as disingenuous as he appears to be, sadly.

Interesting.

This entire Carr thing has gone off the tracks. Just cut him on June 1st.

Saints front office needs to take the loss & move on. It’s time.
