If he can do the intermediate routes that's just as important. He can't be worse than the other backups we have. He's grown as a passer over the years. It's also speculated he fits Moore's system. Despite the naysayers, Carr is still sharp and keeps himself active so unless he wants out or is unhappy, he's the starting QB for the next two years.

The New Orleans Saints restructured Derek Carr's contract this offseason, all but ensuring the quarterback will remain with the team through the 2025 season. That doesn't mean all is well between the two sides. Carr sought a trade before reworking his deal, according to NewOrleans.Football, and his relationship with the Saints remains "tenuous at best" as the club scouts potential quarterbacks of the future.

All it does is convert guaranteed salary for the season into a bonus that is payed to the player now. It let's the team spread that money into further cap years into the future, lowing the cap hit for this year. Standard Saints practice that drives people crazy because it ties the player to the team longer. It's the "kicking the can" that so infuriates so many fans. The Saints build that flexibility into all their bigger contracts. BTW welcome back. SFIAH

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.

Derek Carr shares heartbreaking news of his wife’s miscarriage and calls out the media over injury reports

In a heartbreaking revelation, New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr opened up about a deeply personal tragedy. While preparing for a doctor’s visit regarding his own shoulder injury, Carr had to rush his wife, Heather, to the emergency room after she suffered a miscarriage. The Carr family, already blessed with four children, now mourns the loss of a fifth.

Derek Carr’s heart-wrenching revelation has left many in the NFL community and beyond reeling with emotion. The Saints quarterback, in a raw moment of vulnerability, shared that while he had been scheduled to see a doctor for his own shoulder injury, the plans quickly changed. His wife, Heather, suffered a miscarriage, and they had to rush to the hospital immediately. This deeply personal revelation came with an emotional statement from Carr, who shared, "We don't just have four babies, we have five. One is in heaven. We'll get to meet the other one when we get to heaven." His openness about the situation has struck an emotional chord with many, especially given the intensity of the moment.

Since news of Derek Carr’s injury broke, he had not publicly addressed the situation until Sunday, April 27, when he spoke at a church service for Church LV.

“I really hate that I have to bring this up, but I feel like I need to,” Carr told the congregation. “Yes, I have a shoulder injury, regardless of what ESPN or some lady on a podcast may think. I have the MRI to back it up. The team is fully aware, and we’ve been in constant communication. Everything’s fine, we’re working through it, and we’ll keep moving forward. Is that okay? I’ve had to deal with people lying about me and spreading all sorts of things. I’m just asking, Lord, why do I have to keep dealing with this nonsense?”

Despite these challenges, Carr has shown immense strength, balancing his emotional grief with the physical demands of his football career. His faith and commitment to his family have been guiding forces through this tumultuous time. Although his own health is a concern, his focus on supporting Heather and their children speaks volumes about his character.
