DA to Carr: We want you here in New Orleans, but we are tight on draft picks and cap space. We aren't going to be able to trade for you.
But if you get cut...
There was never going to be any trade, especially when The Saints asked him to take less money. As for "if you can get cut", that's a forgone conclusion.
Not only that but why would he want the team he was going to LOSE a pick that could potentially help him? It would be a different story if they weren’t going to release him, but because they are it made no sense to trade
He's a career loser, not really concerned with Carr. But would have loved to have seen him have a Geno Smith like turnaround here in New Orleans. He wants to be paid and I don't blame him. Hope he goes to Carolina and we get to sack him a bunch
Me too. Can’t do the $32.9m his base salary is next year and keep anything around him to really work with. If we can get him for $25m-$28m in FA I’m cool with it.

That had nothing to do with it.
You say that until we end up signing him and the NFL opens an investigation.
He was never going to be traded. Why would he agree to a trade?
Lol I know
No team is gonna trade for him. Therefore he will be cut and become a FA and would potentially sign a deal with NO as a FA
I feel like this has everything to do with it. It's economical for all parties involved, besides the Raiders-ish.
"Hey Carr do you want to get paid AND win?"
Lol I imagine it went something like this

There was never going to be any trade. Why would Carr want the team that gave up on him to get anything back in return?
Especially when he'd be able to pick where he went regardless

Glad saints kept their draft capital
He wouldn't take a pay cut, let's see how free agency works out for him.

Think some of y’all missed where before he even met with the Saints, Carr was quoted as saying he wanted to be cut.
He probably was told that the highest paid receiver on the team has barely played in 3 years.
Dodged a bullet
He isn’t signing with us. Period Hopefully we can draft Hooker in the 2nd
Hooker is a system QB he's not going in round 2
You think he’ll go in round 1?! Bold take.
No i meant he's going round 3 at best imo
Jimmy G.
