**New Orleans, LA** – Despite a contract restructure that seemingly secures Derek Carr as the New Orleans Saints’ quarterback through 2025, a rift remains between the player and the organization. Sources indicate Carr attempted to force a trade before agreeing to a reworked four-year, $150 million deal that pushes a significant portion of his salary into future years.
The Saints, while publicly stating their commitment to Carr, have reportedly been actively scouting quarterbacks in the upcoming draft, adding to the feeling of uncertainty for the veteran signal-caller. This activity follows earlier reports of Carr exploring his market value, a move the Saints seemingly resisted.
While new head coach Kellen Moore expressed confidence in Carr leading the offense next season, stating, “We want him here, and it’ll be a good situation,” the team’s actions suggest a less certain future for the quarterback. The contract restructuring, while securing Carr’s presence, hasn’t fully resolved the underlying tension. The Saints’ continued quarterback scouting raises questions about Carr’s long-term prospects with the team.
