What is going on. I can get to The tweet I posted but not Frodo’s.

The screenshot of mine is here

He nixed the trade the Raiders had worked out with New Orleans with his no trade clause, so Vegas didn't get any compensation, forcing them to release Carr. Then he goes and signs with the Saints. Ice cold, lol.

Looked like Saints won't be trading up for QB

No love there, sounded like Raiders' front office mishandled the case.

How can the Saints fit him in. Weren't they already over the cap?

 

[FrodosFinger]

Carr can still play but that’s a little too rich for one position

Report: Four-year, $150 million deal for Derek Carr

The Saints have not officially announced a deal with quarterback Derek Carr yet, but Carr confirmed reports that he's headed to New Orleans and some details about the deal he'll be signing have now been reported as well.

My guess is that we should stand by for back end loaded contract numbers.

Plus contract adjustments involving other players ..............



EDIT: "The next two players whose contracts will likely be restructured are Cameron Jordan and Marshon Lattimore." -- per -- Jason Fitzgerals of OTC

Good for him. Truly one of the better humans in the league. I'll root him/them on when it doesn't directly impact us.

This!!

Nice 2023 cap number buys Saints time to work on cap budget. Here are the numbers per OTC ................

I am having trouble seeing this as a good idea for the Saints. One about-to-be-a-free agent QB who's likely to be noticeably better than Carr in 2023 is Darnold, and Darnold would probably be a lot cheaper, since he's now widely seen as a bust.
And now, as @Jville's post shows, the Saints basically can't get away from Carr and his way-too-expensive-for-what-Carr-should-be-expected-to-produce contract before 2025. Yikes.

It's a league of 32 unique teams and unique team philosophies.

Saints signed their headliner for 2023. Carr's contract and contract fit are actually consistent with recent Saints cap habits. Saints are, once again, over the cap with many contracts including void years and implied dead cap charges in their future. They have kept themselves buried ever since the reduced cap year.

It's a genuine comfort to know that the Seahawks are in such good hands.
