The Jets wanted Derek Carr a few years ago, but there is one specific coach who is no longer in New York that may have changed things:

The Saints appear committed to retaining quarterback Derek Carr in 2025, with a contract restructure likely in the works.

The NFL's combine begins Monday, giving Moore and his staff a chance to meet with the prospects in this year’s draft and gauge interest on topics like a Derek Carr trade.

Would playing Spencer Rattler automatically mean a top-5 pick or so in the 2026 NFL Draft? Would the Saints even consider eating Carr’s full salary?

Underhill noted there are still some contractual matters to resolve between the two sides. Carr is under contract through the 2026 season and is due to carry a cap hit of $51.4 million in 2025 and $61.4 million in '26. The Saints are in the worst financial position in the league, with an effective cap space of -$52.7 million, per Over the Cap.
