TOO LATE: New Orleans Saints, Derek Carr TRADE UNLIKELY, Even If He Wants Out
New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr may want out of New Orleans, but a trade after his contract restructure makes a move very unlikely. Instead, 2026 becomes the possible off-ramp for both the passer and his current team, but how 2025 shakes out will be key. How do Carr and the Saints co-exist next season if a future split is already in sight?
Saints signing of Velus Jones Jr. is intriguing because of his versatile play style, however the Saints still have work to do at wide receiver. Ugo Amadi and Willie Gay Jr. may not make it back to New Orleans, but Landon Young and Tanoh Kpassagnon could.

Saints drafting a QB in the 1st round if one is there for them to take. Carr already upset of the likelihood that this will happen.
Or just too early depending how you look at it.. (Post June 1st)
You were wrong, just let it go.
I never wanted anything to do with DA and DC. Having them as the head coach and qb is like saying I just want to be below average
We need to draft Will Howard in 4th round.
Zero % chance Kellen is going to let a toxic mediocre qb ruin his first HC job.
Ughhh 😟 This is now my last listen of the day and I can only lose till kicking the rumor can ALL OVER THE PLACE! Maybe endearing yourself the fans but I’d guess the Coaches and players are shaking their heads. Ifs and maybes are annoying. 😒 But oh well, sometimes communications and theatrics go hand in hand with sports broadcasting. I don’t like it but “I get it.” It’s your JOB! At least you aren’t Steven A. Smith! 🤣😂
It’s amazing reading this comment section, between the media & fans WHY would Carr want to be a Saint?
Saints fans act like they’re the delusional BF/GF & think they could do better?
Carr was the HIGHEST graded Saints player by PFF last season. ie. Carr’s the BEST player on the team & since he first signed with the Saints, Saints Fans & media have been calling him trash!
I can tell Saints fans are predominantly Progressive Leftists, because you have trouble negotiating reality.
Let Used Carr's go before it becomes an offseason drama and distraction. After all, this team will likely draft a quarterback in the first three rounds and let Rattler compete for the job against a draft pick, a veteran from free agency, and Haener. If Carr is traded, have the team that trades for Carr chew half of the $69 million, which is $34.5 million in 2026.
Please get off this Carr fake news. He never said he wants to leave. Enough.
I just hope he's not made a team captain because he's clearly not
Ross your Carr derangement syndrome is getting silly. Get behind this guy and let's play good football.
only the social media hateful talking heads looking for click bait are talking about 2026
The Saints need to stop it with this Derek Carr nonsense. Develop the youngsters in house or draft a QB end of story. Carr been in the league for 12 years and hasn't won anything.
Never should have signed his garbage azzzz in the first place
Carr better watch mouth before he catches some hot 💩 when he goes outside..u in The 504 … you'll be stanking in a ditch
Please GOD release or trade Carr…he deserves so much better.
I don’t understand the hatred for DC in New Orleans. Whatever, but would you want to stay with a team where the fans hate and don’t support him? You’d want to see what’s out there too.
They can still trade him for a player or a future pick there is STILL A MARKET for him
It's never too late somebody will get injured
When has LOOMAZZ EVER DONE THINGS AS THE SHOULD😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was hoping we could get Milton from Pats or Hooker from Lions THAT WOULD IMPRESS ME
Carr is gonna play his best this year because he wants another team to pick him up. I don't blame the Saints from not giving him what HE wants. 😂
It’s Never Too Late For Derek Carr To Be Traded
Being ok w/ a trade and asking for a trade are two different things.
I never had a problem with Carr but if the guy wants out they can work something out to get him out of here
