While he acknowledged that Derek Carr is a talented player, new Saints head coach Kellen Moore was hesitant when questioned about Carr’s future with the team during his introductory press conference.

Moore, fresh off a successful run with the Philadelphia Eagles, expressed excitement about the process of evaluating Carr and the entire roster. In his own words, “Derek’s a tremendous quarterback in this league. He’s a starter and a premier player. … I’m eager to work with him throughout this evaluation process.”

Given the Saints’ significant salary cap situation, including Carr’s hefty contract, it appears steps will need to be taken for him to remain on the team. Carr has stated he is willing to restructure his deal, emphasizing his commitment to help the Saints navigate the coming challenges.
