Kellen Moore’s staff is gearing up to develop the Saints’ quarterback of the future, and all eyes are on Derek Carr. Moore, the new head coach, has expressed admiration for Carr, calling him a “tremendous quarterback” and a “premier player” in the league.¹ ² However, Moore’s comments also hinted at uncertainty surrounding Carr’s future with the team.
The Saints are currently facing significant salary cap constraints, with Carr’s contract being a major contributor to the issue. Carr has stated that he’s willing to restructure his contract but won’t take a pay cut. This has led to speculation about the team’s plans for the quarterback position.
Moore’s staff, including new QB coach Scott Tolzien, will play a crucial role in developing the Saints’ quarterback of the future.³ Whether that’s Carr or someone else remains to be seen. One thing is certain, though – the Saints are poised for an exciting new chapter under Moore’s leadership.
