New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr has $10 million guaranteed for 2025 with another $30 million scheduled to kick in March 15. His release would only save his cap-strapped team a couple of million dollars and the team is unlikely to be in a position to draft a blue-chip quarterback, which makes it likely that Carr will remain the starting quarterback for at least one more season.
Huddle Up: This comes as little surprise for most NFL fans, as the Saints enter the offseason about $60 million over the salary cap and are in no position to part with a capable quarterback with so many other needs on the roster. The best thing new head coach Kellen Moore and the front office can do for Carr right now is continue to add quality pieces to an offensive line that has fallen off dramatically since the end of the Sean Payton era. Carr should be considered no more than a middling QB2 option in fantasy in 2025.

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr is likely to open the 2025 season as the starter because the team would only save a couple of million dollars if they cut him. He has $10 million guaranteed for 2025 with another $30 million scheduled to kick in March 15.
Huddle Up: Carr will be a QB2 option universally. He's not the worst option in fantasy, but the problem is that the team is strapped financially and can't afford to add much around him outside of the draft.

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr likely will receive interest from a few teams this offseason if the Saints decide to release him, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
Huddle Up: The Saints are expected to hire Kellen Moore as their new head coach, so it is not known if Carr will be playing for the Saints or another team next season. He was limited to 10 games this season and finished with 2,145 yards and 15 touchdowns. He should be a starting quarterback for a team in 2025 but will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.

Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (hand) did not participate in participate in practice Friday, Jan. 3, and has been ruled out for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Spencer Rattler will be receiving another start this season and could be a possible option for the starting job next season. He has not posted great numbers this season and can be avoided in fantasy leagues this week.

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (hand) and RB Kendre Miller (concussion) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 18 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. RB Alvin Kamara (groin) also did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful. DE Payton Turner (ankle), TE Juwan Johnson (knee) and LB Willie Gay (shoulder) were limited in practice on Friday, Jan. 3, and are listed as questionable. LB Pete Werner (concussion), WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest) and WR Chris Olave (head) practiced in full on Friday but are also listed as questionable.

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (hand), RB Alvin Kamara (groin) and RB Kendre Miller (concussion) did not practice for a third consecutive day on Friday, Jan. 3.
Huddle Up: With nothing to play for, expect the Saints to rule out all three shortly. Spencer Rattler appears the most likely to start at quarterback, while Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims figure to share the load at running back. No one on this offense - outside of maybe tight ends Foster Moreau and Juwan Johnson - should be in lineups this week.

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (hand) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 2.
Huddle Up: It seems like Carr will not be available for the final game of the season, so Spencer Rattler likely will be under center for the Saints. Rattler has thrown two touchdowns and three interceptions since Carr left the lineup and can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (hand) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 1.
