SPLIT INCOMING?: New Orleans Saints’ Cap Stockpiling Suggests Derek Carr DEPARTURE In 2025/2026
The New Orleans Saints are stockpiling salary cap space and it may be to prepare for a potential split with Derek Carr. While a 2025 trade is unlikely, there are still ways to prep for a 2026 post-June 1 cut.
Demario Davis and Pete Werner are the starters at linebacker, but depth and lack of experience are a concern at the position. Velus Jones Jr. brings some interesting tools with him as the Saints’ newest running back.

Yo!
Woooa wassam ross
Yes! Let Carr lob 15 yd concussion balls anywhere else in the NFL! He throws Drew Brees ball, with none of the anticipation.
We are in Desperate need of a Big 6”3 6”5 big body wide receiver like Keenan Allen
Bye used Carr's, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
I just think Carr doesnt have awareness of his issues as a qb. He doesnt address things that keep coming up. I dont respect it.
A yes Ross this is Very interesting news you bringing us bro really appreciate your work my Dawg! 💯
No more old player
Wow never seen a headline like this before. If I got a dollar for every Carr departure headline I saw I could retire.
Really wish they'd gohead & re-sign W Gay Jr. I think he'd be great as an edge rusher who can cover
Pete Werner has been so good for us the past 44 years. 😅
but uncle matt said we're keeping carr and are in win now mode
Just spitballing and some fans will take these points and scream it in every comment section for the next 6 weeks
Why play him if he don’t wanna be here🤷🏾♂️don’t think we will get the best out of him‼️proof players go elsewhere and play better 🙏🏾⚜️⚜️⚜️
Nobody is talking about Devin Neal from Kansas he doesn’t miss games and he’s pretty good
So, no Jeanty at 9? Darn it!
Im so over DC4, cut carr, bring in joe milton, or roll with rattler, use that money to get Jenkins (OG) & diggs & maybe a corner or edge but don't over spend
Great SEGMENT Ross is BOSS # WHOo DAT
Some of the stupid comments, Derek is always going to give his all, that's why we're not in the NFL
Derek Carr traded to Tennessee with a 1st and 2nd this year and a 1st next year. For Tennessee number 1 pick.
This constant Carr nonsense is to coverup putting damn near the same team on the field. Shaheed will catch some deep balls, nobody knows what Olave will do, STILL. AK, his usual. Foster and JJ will have a few good games. That's the season. Blame Loomis and DC.
They need ta prepare ta jump from 9 ta 1 like the Panthers did for young an take cam ward💯
Spencer Rattler should be the starter in 2025 regardless of Carr being on the roster or not.
Carr Titans Connections 💨 : HC -B. Callahan, OC – Nick Holz, Asst. GM – Dave Ziegler, & VP – Reggie McKenzie. Carr had his best season under Callahan & was 2nd in MVP votes in 2018!!!
Mickeys Will pay Derek Carr like he's a Franchise Qb, He Should have Left with D.A…….
Is Carr getting traded ..I'm going get season tickets …oh wait it's a dream nvm you had me there for a second until you said draft capitol …at that point ..I wouldn't believe someone traded anything for Carr just our stupid arses
Every time they sign in big contracts they lose money play sit on the sidelines hurt they get one good season out of them and pay him a bunch of money it's ridiculous
Loomis has put us in a bad situation, and it appears to have no consequences of his actions, with Ms. Gail Benson. Loomis needs to be demoted, at best. This is why you don't bring family, friends, etc ,when it comes to business. These types of employees, tend to get away with things.
I want Carr gone! Build the team with the draft for 2 years and then go for it.
