re: Saints are embracing a "soft reset"

My hope is that the new offensive system starts to click midseason once the offensive line gels, Carr plays consistently better down the stretch, and the Saints make the playoffs this season with at least 10 regular season wins.
In year two, after adding a few key pieces on the lines, the team looks good early, but Carr goes down with an injury for a month giving Rattler time to show flashes, win ing just enough to keep them in contention. Carr comes back, and the team makes a deeper playoff run as Carr plays like a top 10 QB down the stretch. Saints lose in the conference championship game.
In year 3, Carr is traded for an early/mid first round pick to give Rattler the best weapon in the draft, and the other first rounder is spent on a dominant defensive player. The youth movement gives them flexibility in free agency allowing them to take flyers on a couple wiley veterans on prove-it deals that work out. Saints win a superbowl.
Rattler makes it to a second deal and starts a dynasty.

I like your scenario. Except we'd never get a 1st round pick for Carr.

Carr is not giving you a first. At this point he will be 35 and have a base salary of $50M. Plus, who knows what the cap implications would be to trade him since it's highly unlikely his base salary next year will only be $30M. Plus, you have to deal with the no trade clause which means he gets to decide where he wants to be traded, which will limit your compensation
But even before Mickey gets his hands on kicking the 2025 salary down the road, a trade in 2026 would result in $28.6M in dead money. If they do a restructure similar to what they did this year, that dead money will ballon to over $50M.
